Where to stay / Accommodation suggestions:
For accommodation, most colleges run a B&B. Oxford colleges are usually the best option for students for their affordable price and reliability. However, summertime is tricky to book as they also run summer school during that time. We can suggest a list of colleges near our venue. They usually show 'no availability', but we would suggest emailing them regardless since this is not always accurate. It might be worth mentioning that you will be attending a conference here when contacting them.
- Jesus College
- Christ Church College
- Balliol College
- Exeter College
- Kellogg College
- Lincoln College
- Trinity College
- Brasenose College
- Wadham College
There are three hotels situated near Jesus College. We suggest you compare different booking websites as they have different prices.
