Campion Hall
Campion Hall was established by the Society of Jesus in 1896 as a private Hall of the University, originally for the benefit of undergraduates and has been a distinguished Hall of the University since its foundation. It now caters mainly for graduate studies. At the core of the Hall is the Jesuit community and religious life in the Catholic tradition, but it has always accepted other students and scholars from many different traditions and disciplines, secular and religious.
