There are four quads; the one when you go in is Old Quad, which mainly contains the JCR and the MCR, college offices and teaching rooms. The grand one to the right is Chapel Quad.

Left of the Chapel Quad, via the Fellow's Garden, there's the new quad, which you reach by crossing a bridge over Brewer Street and the old city wall. It's just opened (2012) and is pretty flash, all ensuite rooms, terraced gardens and a theatre. Most second years and a fair few graduates live here. This means all undergrads get accomodation for their whole degree.	Around the back of Chapel Quad is the North Quad, which contains most of the accomodation; some freshers and lucky finalists are put up in the MacMillan building to the west end of North Quad and up the steps, but most folk are in the converted houses on Pembroke Street. There is a street running through North Quad, Beef Lane, which Pembroke bought outright. I don't know if it's a right of way or just as a courtesy, but it's opened on Sundays for people going through to [[St. Ebbe's Church]] and [[St. Aldate's Church]].
