Linacre College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in the UK whose members comprise fellows and postgraduate students. It is located on St Cross Road at its junction with South Parks Road, next to the University Parks and opposite the Tinbergen Building, which is shared by the Departments of Zoology and Experimental Psychology. The College is named after Thomas Linacre , founder of the Royal College of Physicians and a distinguished Oxford humanist. Linacre was also a medical scientist and a classicist, and the College aims to reflect his multi-disciplinary character.... Linacre College has approximately 400 graduate students studying a broad range of subjects. Linacre prides itself on being an egalitarian institution and was the first of Oxford's colleges to admit female and male students on an equal basis. This egalitarian spirit is also reflected by a lack of formal separation between fellows and students and high-level participation of students in college decision making. This has created a relatively relaxed and informal atmosphere compared to some Oxford colleges.
