Accommodation
James College has some of the best accommodation on campus although the older blocks (ABC) do not reach the highest levels of luxury. There are three types of accommodation; standard houses, ensuite houses and ensuite flats. Blocks ABC are arranged into houses with a small kitchen on the ground floor. There are 3 houses per block which house 16 people (14 standard single rooms and one double room). Blocks DEF are the older-style ensuite blocks which are also arranged into houses with a kitchen on the ground floor.
Blocks GHJKLM are the newest blocks and all have ensuite rooms, consisting of a 'pod' or wet room containing a shower, toilet and sink. Each block is (generally) divided into 6 flats which have a kitchen per flat. The kitchens are of a good size and are only shared between 6-9 people. In 2009, James College acquired a block from the old Goodricke college which has become N block, which is catered, along with ABC blocks. The College Dean and College Tutors live in college.
James has a number of common rooms, hosts the new YUSU bar 'The Lounge' and is the closest college to the University Sports centre, playing fields and Health Centre.
