About the college
The college provides a friendly environment for its students to meet and swap ideas with like-minded academics and where they can benefit from Oxford's world-class graduate training. A relaxed and friendly college, Somerville is free of religious affiliation, with students coming from many different cultural backgrounds.
The social centre of graduate life at Somerville is Margery Fry House, a building on the college site which is partly managed by students themselves and reserved for graduate-only use. This is the home of the Middle Common Room (MCR), which organises numerous social activities throughout the year.
