First and third-year undergraduates usually live in the Wadham College main site. Second-year undergraduates live in the Dorothy Wadham Building. Fourth-year undergraduates live in Merifield.
Rooms are allocated to all freshers. All other undergraduates are also offered accommodation according to a ballot system.
Dorothy Wadham Building
Beautiful and modern ensuite accommodation, and winner of the RIBA South Building of the Year 2021.
Merifield
Merifield houses a community of graduates and fourth-year undergraduates, and is the location of Wadham's sports field and sports pavillion.
Licenses
We offer two accommodation packages:
- Term-Time only License (only available when staying on the Main Site).
- Full Academic Year License.
For more information on what is included in the license, and the dates it covers, please see the Accommodation Licenses page.
Fees & Finance
Wadham College provides accommodation to its undergraduate students at subsidised prices. To reduce the cost of college accommodation for undergraduates from lower income backgrounds, we offer Accommodation Assistance Bursaries.
These are assessed for all undergraduates in receipt of a Student Finance loan, based on the Household Income declared to Student Finance (overseas undergraduates from lower household income families will be invited to apply for bursaries on a similar basis to UK-domiciled undergraduates).
Payment is made in termly instalments.
