Board is not included in the CMRS fees. Students swipe their Bodleian cards and are billed monthly in arrears by Keble College for what they have eaten.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available in the Dining Hall at Keble College each weekday during the ten-week university term, with brunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Dinner from Sunday to Friday is ‘formal’ and members of college are required to wear academic gowns which are supplied by CMRS.  Out of term time special arrangements apply, but CMRS students will be welcome whenever meals are available.

Keble also boasts its own Café which serves a variety of hot and cold drinks, soup, sandwiches, panini, biscuits, fruit and muffins, and is a delightful place to meet friends.  Payment in Café Keble may be by swipe card or in cash.

Keble College advises that an allowance of £10 per day would be more than adequate if you were to take all 3 cooked meals. There is no fixed charge for meals but the following should give you a good idea - prices quoted are current and subject to change to reflect market costs:

• Breakfast items are priced individually but if you were to choose everything the total would be £1.25 - £1.50 per day;
• Lunch again has various options – the set lunch of 2 courses at £ 2.30 – alternative choices usually include pizza, pasta, salads, which are priced individually;
• Dinner can be either 2 courses at £ 3.86, or 3 courses at £4.45, except Sundays when only 3 courses are offered at £4.95 for the meat option, and £4.45 for the vegetarian option.

There are also modern kitchen and dining facilities in St Michael’s Hall and student lodgings for student use. An allowance of £40 per week should be adequate for self catering but if you plan to eat out regularly the cost will be considerably higher.
