Welcome to the website of Balliol College's Junior Common Room. Balliol is one of Oxford's oldest colleges, having recently celebrated its 750th Anniversary, and has one of Oxford's largest and most diverse (though we could do better) undergraduate communities.
This website is intended for use by both current and prospective students. For those of you thinking of applying to study at Balliol as an undergraduate, current students have written about the variety of social and welfare services the JCR provides its members. Balliol has one of the university's most active JCRs, thanks to our unusually large number of student-run services; as well as maintaining Oxford's largest student-run bar and a cafeteria in our Common Room, Balliol JCR has some of the best welfare provision and entertainment.
Current students will be able to find useful links provided by the Welfare Sub-Committee covering a host of issues, as well as a calendar detailing events for the coming term and booking forms for in-college services.
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact me at jcr.president@balliol.ox.ac.uk.
Annie Williamson
JCR President 2015-16

Hey freshers,
1. Committee had a discussion of the college's disability policy, which has been updated on this website - also you can ask Marianne and Juliet who are now experts.
2. We passed £5.00 for 150 fridge stickers. (Which we've been reliably informed won't leave a sticker residue on the fridges).
3. The potential Codebar Workshop has morphed into pizza and computers run by members of the JCR, watch out for that next week!
4. £20 passed for Mortal Kombat to be replaced.
1. £10 passed for a weighing scale for luggage, international students everywhere rejoice
2. Plans were put in motion for disposable cameras to improve the picture store, everyone can have one and the picture fund will pay for developement. Should be a laugh.
3. The disabilities officers are cooking up a comprehensive summary of how medical leave works - should be with everyone soon.
4. Freddy announced his working group to renovate the JCR - email him if you want to join!
