College Resources
- Map of college
- Stairways are marked with numbers, so addresses in college are indicated by stairway and room. For example, the Chaplain's Rooms are 9:8, or Staircase 9, Room 8. Check out the map of college.
- Bodleian Card
 The key to everything is your university card. Make sure you get the form and photo to the College Office as soon as possible, as this card gets you access to most buildings, discounts at local shops and is necessary to have before you can get a university email account. To sign up for email, go to the OUCS website (Oxford University Computing Services).- Meals
- As a postgrad you are entitled to take meals in the Exeter Hall, where the food is all organic. Lunch (12:30-1:30pm) is paid for on your university card and can be 'charged' with five or ten pound notes at the machine in the Lodge. To eat dinner, you must sign up by noon in the entrance to Hall or online (meal.signin@exeter.ox.ac.uk) and specify whether you are eating at First Hall (6:15pm, cafeteria style) or Second Hall (7:15pm, served by kitchen staff). Gowns must be worn at Second Hall.
- College Library
- The College Library is located next to the Fellows Garden and is accessed by your university card. It is open 24 hours a day, but is staffed Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm by Ms Juliet Chadwick. Postgrads have full borrowing privileges.
- Your college address
- Your college address will be Exeter College, Oxford, OX1 3DP. Your mail will be put in your pigeonhole in the Lodge. Internal university post (pigeon post) will also come to your pidge; outgoing pigeon post may be given to the Porter.
- Computers
- You will have access to two computers rooms in college, one in the MCR, one in the Margary Quad - the Balsdon Room is near the Saskatchewan and Quarrell Rooms and is larger though shared with undergrads. It also has a photocopier.
- Gym and music rooms
- These are located in Staircases 10 and 14, respectively. Ask the Porter for the key(s).
- Recreational facilities
- During Trinity term, you may join the Punting Club for £12 and have access to the Exeter college punt. Sign up with the Porter no more than 24 hours in advance. Take the ticket to Magdalen Bridge to get the punt. 'Messing about in boats' is a long and venerable Oxford tradition. Don't break it.
- Guest Rooms
- The college has 3 guest rooms available for £23/night for your guests for a maximum of three days. Reserve rooms via the Domestic Manager. Also, ten rooms are available at the newly-built University Club on Mansfield Road. As a postgrad, you are entitled to free membership, but the rooms cost £65-85/night. Go to the University Club website for more information.
