At Caroline Freeman College – named in honour of the University's first female graduate who was a passionate pioneer in education – you'll experience a world of diversity. Our members study arts, commerce, health science, law, science and teaching.

Artworks from alumni cover the walls of our modern custom- built college, which includes a common room, tutorial rooms, a library and a sports court. Our members have many opportunities to represent the college in sporting, cultural and social activities – we celebrate all of our members' talents.

Shared living offers you a perfect stepping-stone into your first year away from home with all the benefits of college life – from meals to structured academic support. Learn, network and engage with others during an immensely fun and memorable year.

The location of the college is perfect. It’s far enough away that I have to leave the house and get exercise but also close enough that it’s not an inconvenience. This means that I actually go to my lectures, my tutorials, and anything else that I need. The walk is a break, so when I have a lot to do, it’s my few minutes of silence.
