Oxford University students mostly live in student accommodation especially during their first-year studies. Many of the students also continue to stay in the college accommodation for the entire duration of their degree and some have chosen to live off-campus later after completing their studies. The university offers guaranteed accommodation to undergraduate students whether it's in their college or at a nearby annexe. For graduate students, the accommodation is provided based on needs and availability.
