**Additional information about accommodation

If you choose to stay in halls, you can pay your rent in one, three or six instalments. If you choose the three instalment option, payments are scheduled for when you will receive your student loan. You will not be able to pay for hall accommodation on a monthly basis.

Accommodation in a shared house in Oxford costs on average £325 - £375 per month. You should also expect to pay an average of £40 per month for bills (gas, electricity and water). Most students opt to stay in halls for their first year and then move to a shared house for the remaining years of their course.
