In 2021 it was recognised as a sanctuary campus by City of Sanctuary UK. It is one of three Oxford colleges to offer undergraduates on-site accommodation throughout the course. It stands near the Science Area, University Parks, Oxford University Press and Jericho, close to Green Templeton, St Anne's, Keble and St Benet's. Somerville has about 650 students, over a third of them non-UK. Over half the UK admissions are from state schools – close to the university average. Its total net assets in 2018 were £225 million, the seventh highest of an Oxford undergraduate college.
