 About Jesus College
Jesus is the right size so that you can name nearly everyone in your year but never get bored with the diversity of people.
The College is a thriving community and enjoys every opportunity to support and share in the academic and recreational interests of all our students throughout the year.
All first-year undergraduates are accommodated in College, and in subsequent years all undergraduates are either in the main College buildings or in ‘external staircases’ (College houses just across the road), so that no Jesus students live more than a stone’s throw away, reinforcing the College’s strong sense of community.

Every year students flock to the college bookstore to purchase the various textbooks that they require for their classes.
Students who elect to buy online will no longer be able to resell their books to the college bookstore at the end of class, but that doesn't mean that they are stuck with the textbooks.
Textbooks normally consume a major portion of a student's budget, but that doesn't have to be the case, because while the cost of tuition may be set in stone the price of textbooks isn't.

 Jesus College, Oxford Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
One result of the size of the college site is that first-year students tend to see a lot of each other and thus form both strong bonds of friendship and a keen sense of college spirit, giving rise to the reputation of Jesus being a friendly college.
While not being especially noted for its prowess in any particular field, the college has successes in a variety of arenas, recently featuring highly in the academic Norrington Table while the sports teams have often reached the heights of intercollegiate competitions.
One area in which Jesus undergraduates tend not to appear, however, is politics: the college has a well-deserved reputation for apathy when it comes to Oxford Union and OUSU hacking and undergraduates seeking to change that have found the consensus unwilling to budge.
