Common Rooms
The student body is divided into three "Common Rooms". The Junior Common Room (JCR) is for undergraduates in the college. The JCR elects an Executive Committee which ensures the successful running of the JCR, in conjunction with the College Officers. The Middle Common Room (MCR) is the organisation for Postgraduate students, while College Officers, fellows and tutors are members of the Senior Common Room (SCR).
Although undergraduates constitute the majority of the student population of the college, the postgraduate community benefit from a refurbished Middle Common Room, separate accommodation in Deerness block where all rooms are en-suite and have access to kitchen facilities due to the fact that postgraduate students are often resident in college outside of normal term times. Postgraduate members of the college are also members of the JCR and therefore are entitled to make use of all the JCR facilities.
