Your Summer at LMH
Make friends, have fun, and find inspiration in the ‘city of dreaming spires’ with an LMH Summer Programme. Your summer in Oxford is waiting for you!
Experience a Magical City
Known as the ‘city of dreaming spires’ after its stunning array of church and college architecture, Oxford has inspired artists, writers, and thinkers for over 900 years, and you too can experience this remarkable city. Here you will find medieval pubs bustling with students and cyclists bouncing along cobbled streets; you will visit beautiful colleges and world-class museums; and you will make friends and have fun as part of a diverse international cohort of students.
Lady Margaret Hall, or ‘LMH’ as it is known to students, will be your home away from home during the programme. Set amongst 12 acres of beautiful grounds around 15 minutes’ walk from the lively city centre, at LMH students can find a haven for quiet study, relax in the peaceful gardens, have a game of croquet with friends, or take a punt along the river.
During your programme, our team of Oxford students, “Residential Advisors” (RAs), will be here to help you get to know other students, explore the city, and have an authentic experience of life as an Oxford student belonging both to the lively modern city of Oxford and to the private oasis of the college.
Read on below to find out more about living in Lady Margaret Hall and about the social and cultural programme.
Live and Eat in Our Beautiful College
During the whole duration of your programme, you will stay in LMH’s on-site accommodation, usually occupied by our undergraduate students during term time and located with no more than a few minutes’ walking distance to everywhere in the college.
Please click here to know more about our facilities and even have a virtual tour of the beautiful college.
You can choose to stay in an en-suite room with private bathroom or a standard room with a shared bathroom, both of single occupancy. You will be asked to choose your preferred type of rooms in the application form, but the final allocation will be subject to our real-time room availability.
As well as the bedrooms, included in your programme fees are breakfast provision every day and lunch and dinner Monday to Friday in the college’s Dining Hall. On the final evening of the course there is a Graduation Formal Hall, when students dress up in their finest outfits for a special banquet served in the Dining Hall.
Social and Cultural Programme
Outside of your study time our Residential Advisers are here to help you get to know other students, explore the city, and have an authentic experience of life as a student at an Oxford college.
The “RAs” run social events through the week, from tea-breaks during a study afternoon, to evenings out for crazy golf or tenpin bowling. You will take part in fun activities that are typical of Oxford and British student life, such as punting on the River Cherwell or joining a pub quiz night.
You will also have the opportunity to take part in a fulfilling cultural programme. You may visit some of the University of Oxford’s world-renowned museums, such as the Ashmolean Museum or the History of Science Museum, or take a tour of the most historic parts of the Bodleian Library. You will take cultural excursions away from Oxford to explore other English cities, such as London, Bristol, or Bath.
