Can my friends and family visit me whilst I am in Oxford?

SSO does not prohibit visits, but neither does it encourage them.   Visitors should not  interfere with your work and should understand that you will not be able to take much time off to show people around Oxford.  It’s best if people come during the spring/autumn break.  Guests may not stay in SSO houses.  You may do best to get a sense of your workload before inviting guests to visit you as you will be very busy.
