Brookes say that 93 of them live in the city, two live elsewhere in Oxfordshire and one of them lives outside of the county. But there haven't been any reported cases at the campus in Swindon.
Last week the uni reported 100 new cases of Covid-19, more than double announced the week before.
It comes after shocking pictures emerged of hundreds of students completely ignoring social distancing rules in a huge party at the university halls.
A video of that event which was sent to this paper pans across five student blocks at the 'village' with a sea of people rammed in the courtyard.
