Sometimes holiday seasons might not feel joyous- it can also be an anxious, sad or lonely time for some. All these feelings are valid and okay, and you’re not alone. You may find this site helpful- Vacation welfare support | University of Oxford

If you are spending any time in Oxford over the holiday period and wondering what events and activities are going on please do check out the Oxford Events Guide from Daily Info. To echo advice from the Senior Tutor and Academic Office, please do try to take a proper break from your studies to recharge your batteries, it will be far more productive for you in the longer term.  

If you run into any difficulties over the vacation, whatever your struggles please note you can call the Student Assistance Programme 24/7 Confidential Helpline- 0800 028 3766 any time of day over the vacation and you will get through to a BACP accredited counsellor who will be able to help you.

For any medical support, please call your GP Practice for an appointment. If you are registered with the College GP and are away from Oxford and you need medical support you can visit your ‘home’ GP as a temporary patient.
