St Hilda's College, Oxford

</div>

St Hilda's College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. It was founded by Dorothea Beale, who also founded Cheltenham Ladies' College, and is the only remaining college to admit only female students. However, proposals have been made that the college should accept male students from Michaelmas Term of 2009. This would require a two-thirds majority vote of the Governing Body, which has not been achieved in other votes on this proposal, most notably one held in 2003.

The college is in Cowley Place, and is the most easterly of all the university's colleges. It consists of six major buildings containing student accommodation and teaching areas: Hall, South, Milham Ford, Wolfson, Garden, and the Christina Barratt Building (opened in 2001). The Jacqueline Du Pre Music Building is a concert venue named after the famous cellist who was an honorary fellow of the college.

St Hilda's students were the subject of the Channel 4 documentary series, College Girls.
