St Hilda's College, Oxford

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 . It is the only one of the university's colleges to admit only female students and thus plays an important role in promoting women's education in a male-dominated university.

The college is located 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.
