Langwith College is a college of the University of York, home to the English and Educational Studies departments and the first college (along with Derwent) to be opened in 1965 following the university's foundation in 1963. It was opened by the Queen.

Not a heavily populated college, Langwith is known to most students by virtue of its facilities - its snack bar, for instance, is a common meeting venue, and its new (as of 2006) lecture theatre with retractable seating, which is often used for functions such as the Battle Of The Bands and shows by the Gilbert & Sullivan society, as well as Mixed Martial Arts, Capoeira and Dance societies. Other notable features include an art gallery and a giant chess set. Langwith has one of the largest Junior Common Room Committees in the University. It has a strong rivalry with Derwent College and in 2005 it won the university's college sport league.

Langwith College is broken into several blocks on the main campus numbered A-D and also has blocks in the joint Derwent-Langwith (occasionally referred to as 'Derwith') extension, forming E and F block.

Langwith College Bar is planned to be closed and replaced by a student-run venue operated by the students' union.

JCRC

Langwith has a Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC) responsible for representing Langwith students, organising events & looking after students' welfare. The chair of the college is Zach Pepper. Langwith's vice-chairs are currently Chris O'Brien and Mary Mason, who also act as the college's social secretaries and returning officers.

Nick Daniel, Roger Daniel, Tim Dobson, Joan Foster, Mark Paver, 'Big Bad' Les Wells, Chris Raybould, Dave Thurston, Phil Walker and Bill Walton.
