Keble is one of the largest colleges at the university, made up of around 460 undergraduate students. Our JCR is the centre of our friendly college community; feel free to reach out to us!

Upon arriving at Keble, every undergraduate automatically becomes a member of the JCR. The JCR exists to represent the wants and needs of the students, negotiate and work with College so as to secure them, and to guarantee that Keble remains a fantastic place to be a student.
The JCR is the hub of undergraduate life at Oxford. It provides its members with most of the facilities that they will regularly use outside of their studies:
JCR Meetings are held every week in the JCR on Sundays at 8:30pm and are the centre of student advocacy at Keble. Whether you are looking to change the Constitution to make the JCR work better or hoping to gain financial support for an activity or charity, this is the place to go to. It is in the JCR Meetings that dreams become reality… There is also a gratuitous amount of free food.
BOPs are thrown by the Entz team several times a term. These are usually the biggest college events of each term and are attended by nearly the whole JCR. Free drinks, classy costumes, and massive tunes are supplied aplenty.
The JCR Committee is the group of elected undergraduate Officers who manage the day-to-day running of the JCR, representing the undergraduate body to both the College and the University. When a motion is passed in JCR Meetings it is the Committee who are responsible for its implementation. The Committee and Reps organise all events put on by the JCR and work with College to secure the priorities of all JCR members. It is without doubt the most rewarding student body to get involved with around Keble and Oxford.
Keble Arts Festival is an annual week long celebration of the arts in and around Keble. Run by the Arts and Publications Officers, the Festival aims to bring everyone in Keble together around our vibrant artistic community as well as showcase our colleges various talents.
There are also a huge number of other activities that the JCR is involved with such as:
- SU Conference of Common Rooms
- Halfway Hall and Wholeway Hall
- Charity Formals and Parents' Formals
- Welfare Teas and Walks
- Punting
- Petting Zoos
- And much, much more…
So if you like the sound of all of this and want to find out how to get involved please come along to a JCR Meeting or contact the President to see what you can do!
The first JCR Meeting will be at 8:30pm on Sunday of 1st week in the JCR. Everyone is welcome—new Freshers in particular.
We all look forward to seeing you there for the start of what will be a fantastic year for everyone!
