Oxford is extremely small even the city centre! I can count the number of decent shops on my hand, so if you are looking to do some shopping stay away!!! go to reading it;s MUCH BETTER and its only 20 mins on train.
Nightlife in Oxford is almost non existant. Ocean and Collins was the only decent club and now they have closed it down.. unless you want to go clubbing witha load of 15 years olds stay away from bridge.
No entertainment places.. like Funland in London. 2 tiny tiny cinemas and that's about it!
Even with the TINY facilities Oxford has to offer the prices that they charge are EXTORTIONATE living in Oxford is soo expensive!! I recently moved from Heading I was paying £850 pcm excluding bills for the most basic basic facilites.
All in all Oxford is good for tourists as in that sense it has a lot to offer but to live here? No way. The only decent thing is the transport services to london and reading. It's a small place but with a large population. ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER!! every where you look all you can see are tourists.
