The college is also active in various sports, especially rowing. It co-owns a boathouse on the Isis with state-of-the-art facilities and a sizeable fleet, and Green Templeton Boat Club has been competing successfully since its establishment in 2008. Other sports at the College include badminton, basketball, cricket, croquet, football, golf, netball, rugby, running, squash and tennis. The College also has on-site tennis and squash courts.
The college bar, known as the "Stables Bar", is open for drinks in the evenings, and serves as a meeting place and TV forum during the day.
Green Templeton also provides laundry facilities, a lecture theatre, a computer room. There are two libraries on-campus: a management library and a medical/social science library.
Green Templeton is actively involved in charity work, supporting a local and an overseas charity every year. Both the GCR and the College Charity Committee organise numerous events throughout the year, both at GTC and in Oxford.
Osler House is Oxford University's club for medical students. It is open to students and Fellows involved in research in a range of topics related to human health and welfare. GTC's strong ties with the clinical medicine community are fostered through its affiliation with Osler House. The friendly and comfortable ambience of Osler House is focused around a games room which has pool and table football facilities.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or life:
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“God wills a full life for us all,
Loves us with tender care,
Asks us to take the sacrifice
Of broken life to share.”
—Paul R. Gregory (20th century)
