St Hugh's has one of the largest college libraries in Oxford, and is well-stocked, with 24-hour access and a good amount of study space. The Library has a wide range of assistive equipment available to use: noise cancelling headphones, book supports, magnifiers, back supports, a silent reading room. In addition to this, the college hosts a Bodleian reading room, open to all students.

All student rooms have network connections and the Middle Common Room (MCR) has its own computer room; the college provides extensive on-site IT support services.

The college's gardens and croquet lawn offer a great space for a range of activities (from essay writing to Frisbee). Other sports are catered for at the college's ground, only a few minutes away by bicycle. The college has a shared boathouse, squash court and its own on-site gym, and there are also several music rooms and a number of pianos.

St Hugh's welcomes applications from disabled students. Most areas of the main college site are accessible, and the college has a limited number of study bedrooms with disabled access, including an adapted studio room in the Dickson Poon Building, and the college is able to be flexible when making reasonable adjustments. Please contact the college about any accessibility requirements.

St Hugh’s College is known for having a welcoming community, which can make it a lot easier to settle in and build friendships. However, life at university is not always easy and, at times, the pressures of work, together with personal or financial worries, can start to take their toll.

The health and welfare of all members of St Hugh's is taken very seriously. Whether they are facing difficulties large or small, there are several structures in place – both formal and informal – to help support students during their time at the college.

More information about the different types of support available, can be found on the college website.

St Hugh's Middle Common Room (MCR) plays an active role in college life, organising social activities throughout the year. The MCR participates in college sporting, musical and dramatic events, and sends representatives to relevant college committees.

All graduate accommodation is on the main college site in the form of single study-bedrooms either in large Victorian houses or in the modern Dickson Poon Building. Accommodation is close to the dining hall, library and MCR social spaces; most rooms are available for single occupancy with studio flats occasionally available for couples. The college offers around 80 graduate rooms, 60 of which are en-suite; it is not possible to accommodate children. 

Many of the college’s graduate rooms are reserved for new first year students. In later years students have the option of applying for accommodation; those who have not already lived in the college are usually given priority.

Further information about accommodation at St Hugh’s is available on the college website.

During term time, weekday breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the college's dining hall, with a café service in the afternoon; a popular long brunch (10.30am to 1pm) is served at weekends, and Formal Hall is held once a week. St Hugh's tries to accommodate specific dietary requirements, and will try to cater to individual needs.

The college's dining hall remains partly open during vacations, and all graduates living on site have access to shared kitchen facilities.
