Oxford is a beautiful but expensive place to live. The central area is made of stunning old buildings and is a lovely place to visit. Housing and living costs can be expensive though.

During the day Oxford is the perfect tourist destination. Filled with historic buildings and of course their famous universities. Furthermore, theres plenty of museums, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and pretty much anything you would need for a day out. And with the new Westgate centre, you are spoilt for choice. Nightlife is a very different scene. The most popular nightclubs are Atik and Bridge, perfect for the university students or anyone else celebrating a special occasion. However, a better nightclub could be added, as they are becoming out dated.

The nights out in oxford are good fun, there are a variety of different clubs or pubs you can go to and there are loads of themed nights in the clubs. There is a good range of places to eat food, which range from fast food change, small businesses and large companies. There are plenty of different types of foods to choose from like Chinese, Indian, Italian and Mexican. There are also a lot of places that cater for different food allergies like lactose intolerant or gluten free. the shopping centre is lovely and brand new with a good wide range of shops for everyone however there an no cheaper shops such as poundland or the works in oxford town centre. The value for money in oxford is good as transport is cheap and there are plenty of places to go which can be in anyone's budget. Worth a visit, such a lovely city with beautiful scenery and places to visit.

Such a pretty city with a lot to keep you entertained. When the weather is nice there are lots of nice parks, and pubs to go to, or punting down the river. Many places to go for food. And there is a nice mix between the colleges and then cowley road which is more studenty with cocktail places, pubs and clubs.

Oxford is a great town, its got loads of diverse bars/clubs with different nights and events on weekly. There a hundred of different restaurants with all types of cuisines, the highest rated restaurant on TripAdvisor in Oxford is actually a Thai and is booked up for week but is amazing. There are cinemas, an icd rink, a shopping mall, a crazy golf and all within walking distance. As an Oxford Brookes stunt I get free transport on Brookes Bus which if fantastic as it goes right through town and to to the train station. Ive never had to wait more than 15 minutes for any bus in Oxford, including the bus to London which is 24hrs.

There was much to do in the area and it was easy to get public transport to different areas of the city. The people were also incredibly friendly and helpful when I was in need of directions.

Great place to live, lots to do and a bustling atmosphere. A nice amount of green space for a city too. You cannot talk about Oxford without mentioning the architecture: fantastic! Only downsides is that there are lots of tourists, and it can feel a bit claustrophobic as a result

Plenty of chain restaurants and shops in the city centre, mainly to cater for the tourists. Some nice markets (Oxford Town Hall, Gloucester Green) too for some more authentic food. Westgate (and Clarendon to an extent) are very nice shopping malls. Westgate is very new and pretty, and has shops such as Lush, Super dry Office, Nando's, John Lewis etc. There's crazy golf and an ice rink near Westgate which always makes a fun outing. Plenty of museums and colleges you can visit too. Clubs are okay. If you're not too picky with the music, Bridge and Park End will more than satisfy your normal club night out. Cheese, EDM, R&B are all provided here. The queues for these clubs can get ridiculous at times, as can the internal capacity. Sometimes you end up queuing for ages just to get in to a more-than-packed club with no footspace at all. Cellar, Bullingdon, and PTs(which will be taken over by Plush) all offer great nights out for those with more specific tastes in music eg. Indie, alternative, drum and bass. Bus services are everywhere. Rental bikes are cool and easy to use, however most apps (Mobike, Ofo, Pony Bikes) require an initial £10 top up/deposit so unless you are going to use the bikes multiple times (it costs like 70p for half an hour) then you'd be better off just getting the bus if you can't be bothered for bit of a stroll.

Transport is okay, with lots of buses, though thankfully Oxford is so small that if needs be one could walk all around it. Nights out a peak, no doubt, but there are lots of great society socials, college bars, and cocktail bars with incredible happy hour deals. All the standard high street collated in the Westgate, along with a smashing indoor market as well as an outdoor one at Gloucester Green 3 times a week. Eating out is good, particularly with a lot of variety down Cowley Road. Rent is v. steep but a lot of events as a student are subsidised by societies, as well as big companies supplying lots of free meals and stash to try and get you on their internship schemes. On the whole I really rate it.

A great place for students, does help that it has 2 big universities so being a student here is pretty good. Nightlife is amazing, decent clubs for different tastes. Drinks are mostly cheap, but depends where you go I guess! Shopping wise Oxford is amazing, the newly build Westgate Shopping centre is big and has all sort of shops from high end like Hugo Boss to huge Primark and Zara. The only downside of Oxford is the expensive housing.

Oxford is a small city with a big student population. There are a lot of pubs and bars you can pick and choose from. Many clubs have closed recently but there are still a lot of clubs in oxford to match your style of musics and scene. George street and the Westgate have to highest concentration of High Street Restaurants but venture into North Oxford or Cowley to try out the local restaurants and good food. You can do a lot of shopping, head to the Westgate and Cornmarket Street for your shopping needs. There is a lot to do in Oxford for a small city, with students everywhere during term time, there area lot of events. The City Council also hold a lot of events on holidays, for example, the Christmas Market on Broad Street. Use your student discount

Really good place to be, plenty to do, all colleges are super nice and pretty. The town itself is great too, lots of places to eat (cannot rate Taylors enough) some places are so overpriced though, it is quite an expensive place to live, I run out of money pretty fast. It's a small place, nothing ever seems to be more than 20 minutes away and appart from the odd cobbled street it's fairly easy to make your way around day or night (most streets are pretty well lit). I really recommend punting to anyone who hasn't tried it before, it really makes an impressive impact and a beautiful day out! Oxford is great, only down side is the prices!

The night life is better than expected - especially for bars and for cocktails, though less for nightclubs. Prices are generally high, though grants are excellent and there are a multitude of good coffee shops if they take your fancy.

Oxford is a beautiful place with lots of history and also lots happening now. Good selection of shops, though it could benefit from a few cheaper options. There is lots to do: going out for food, crazy golf, cinema, pub, night out and more. The buses are very frequent too.
