The Hall's library contains some 35,000 volumes, including many specialist and rare books, and takes a number of periodicals that are not available elsewhere in Oxford.

Built in the 1930s, it provides plenty of work space for our students, and has excellent IT facilities, including wireless internet access.

The Hall provides students with free access to gym facilities. There is an active Wine Society, and the Women's Group hosts speaker events with international academics and other notable women.

Blackfriars students regularly combine with students of other colleges and members of the religious community for musical and sporting events.

There is wheelchair access to the JCR/MCR, lecture room, tutorial rooms and ground floor of the Library. The Hall arranges accommodation in housing belonging to another college close by. Please contact the Senior Tutor to discuss any specific needs.

Graduate students are members both of the joint JCR/MCR and of the joint MCR/SCR. The former organises regular meals and social events. The latter holds several social evenings each term so that Fellows, tutors, friars, visiting scholars and graduate students may mix informally.
