Accommodation at St Edmund’s is divided into Grades. Each Grade is priced at its own daily rate. Assessments of rooms are made on an individual basis, so that rooms with shared characteristics across the whole College are grouped together into the same Grade. The information provided for each Grade is based on a ‘typical’ average bedroom within that Grade. Please be aware that discrepancies can still exist because of the College’s varying facilities, age of buildings and the number of different residential areas on site.

All rooms in college are graded from 1 to 17 with Grade 1 being the lowest rent. In general, grade 1 rooms are smaller and situated in the older buildings whilst those in grade 6 and above are larger, have en-suite facilities and are situated in the newer buildings.
