Linacre College

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.

Sadly this college, destitute in a corner of a little-travelled road, not only reeks of corruption, but is also amongst the poorest (if not the poorest) of the Oxford colleges. This does not however, stop the staff from squandering resources on their own personal projects.

I wish I had done a few google searches before I joined this college; I would have been happier doing an online course somewhere else.

I attended Linacre College for 2 years and unfortunately cannot say that I have any good memories. I feel like my Oxford experience was robbed from me. The college atmosphere was so negative that I preferred to stay home -- in truth I may as well have done an online course. The stories about the terrible incidents at the college do not help.

Disappointing little place, it should be downgraded to an independent shop as they are not worthy of the Oxford brand. It lacks the facilities that most other colleges have. Even basic things like a library are lacking. I was at Linacre for about 2 weeks before I transferrred to a better college -- do a service for your own future and do a bit of research before you apply to this place.

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.

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.

A nice college. The garden is beautiful and clean.

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.
