I am a student in the first year at Jesus College, Oxford studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). I have a pretty unhealthy fascination with the internet, which keeps my life on track.

I have visited Oxford pretty regularly - not least for University interviews over the past year. As such I have seen it in most weathers and seasons. I have to say that in the summertime it is a very pretty city, the buildings seem to radiate tradition and heritage. The open areas are very pretty and on the most part well-kept. The pubs are friendly, if a little dear, but the clubs are chaeper in both targetting and price!
Oxford has some great restaurants, which are quite dear as they are aimed (I would guess) at American tourists. These are one of the only disadvantages of the city in the summer, they invade completely. They are helped, as all visitors to the city are, by the proximity to London and the cheap train and coach fares.
It would be a complete thumbs-up to Oxford were it not for how grey and unwelcoming the place looks in the winter. It's bleak and deserted. The students are absent, the streets are grey and cold and the buildings turn spooky.
