Linacre is a graduate College of the University of Oxford. It is wholly interdisciplinary and international in its student body, academically rigorous, and environmentally aware in its ethos. It consists of a genuine community of intellectual and social equals.

Situated next to the University Parks, and close to all the University's main libraries and laboratories, the College has more than 550 graduate students and more than 50 Fellows.

We are proud to offer high quality accommodation and facilities to our members and guests. The College is also committed to being energy efficient, protective of our environment, ethical, and forward thinking.

If you are a current or former member of the college, I hope you find the information you require; and if you are a prospective student, or simply curious about us, I hope you will explore these pages, and discover something of what makes Linacre special for those who study and have studied here. 

- Principal, Dr Nick Brown

Happiest place in Oxford. What a cosy and intimate site, and what a group of wonderful friends and colleagues studying the most amazing topics. People from 50, 60, 80 nationality in every intake. International, friendly, welcoming. I hope it doesn't lose its spirit.

Wonderful college. A lot of wonderful scholars trained here. Beautiful College and people. Situated at the corner of a road turning that need extra care to come here.

Studied here for three years when the Linacretruth chap who left all the 1 and 2 star reviews was there (they're all fake accounts, his commitment to his little conspiracy is admirable). A lovely College in a nice part of Oxford. Thoroughly recommend, especially now that Mr Grumples is long gone.

Linacre College, like any other college in the world, consists mostly of very nice, welcoming people. I cannot fault them as a whole. However, one cannot deny that there is a malicious atmosphere overshadowing everything. I spent 2.5 years here as a graduate student, and I regret to say that these were the worst years of my life. The college environment is dark, depressing, and authoritarian. The staff and students have formed a system in which they pretend to have a "safe, diverse" college -- but the truth is some people are more welcome than others. The college is severely lacking in financial funding and it shows. Overall, if you're looking for a pleasant, positive, college experience, I would strongly advise that you seek elsewhere. I give it 2 stars out of respect to my fellow survivors.
