Summer life at St Peter's College, Oxford
About St Peter's College
St Peter’s is one of the University of Oxford’s youngest colleges. It was founded in 1929 as an independent hostel for students with the aim of providing low-cost education. In 1961, St Peter’s became a full college of the University.
Due to its rich founding history, the College includes a mixture of traditional and modern buildings and architectural styles. The College has an intimate and friendly atmosphere, and in recent years has become admired in Oxford for its sporting success, especially in rowing.
Some well-known Peters alumni include Edward Akuto-Addo (former Prime Minister of Ghana), Simon Beaufoy (Oscar-winning writer of the screenplay for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’), and Carl Albert (former speaker of the United States House of Representatives).
St Peter’s is located right in Oxford’s city centre, on New Inn Hall Street.
