About the college

Throughout its history Mansfield has worked hard to make an Oxford education available to previously under-represented groups.

The proportion of our UK students from the state sector is the highest of any college. Our small size and welcoming ethos make Mansfield a warm, informal environment where tutors and students work together to achieve academic excellence and sustain a progressive and lively community.

All undergraduate students are housed in Mansfield accommodation. Most students, including all first years, live on the main college site, with the rest in college accommodation a 15-minute walk away.

The majority of rooms on the main site are ensuite, with several large kitchens for student use. The college offers excellent food at reasonable prices in the Chapel Hall, while the Crypt café offers a more informal eating and study space. Our well-stocked libraries are open 24 hours a day, and students have access to free sports facilities.

Mansfield is...

'...a lovely community. It’s easy to get to know people and feel like you belong here.'
Flora

…a mixture of old and new.
Dan

'…a home amid the chaos that is university life. Somewhere you can always feel like you!'
Muzzy

'…the best college for vegetarian and vegan food in Oxford.'
Libby

'…a small space with a big heart.'
