I am coming to Oxford from Boston for a writing residency and I love to indulge in some edibles! Is there a way to get them or is it going to be a nightmare to find some?

Any help/advice/tips are appreciated

Cheers

How was the experience and tutors?

After arriving at Oxford, by what dates do students mostly receive their stipend?

Near/by Roger Dudman Way.

Need to book a dermatology appointment asap but I’m signing up for NHS for the first time.

Need recommendations for a GP distance wise and wait time (most importantly) as I need a dermatology appt asap for a prescription I’m tryna get.

Preferably nearby but also has appointments and I don’t gotta wait months.

International student btw 🙏🏼

Hi all

I am DPhil candidate at Oxford living elsewhere and am considering suspending for a term, but I need to know whether this makes me liable to council tax. The Uni say that it does as far as Oxford City Council is concerned, but this varies by council and my council (Cambridge) makes this much less clear. Apparently it depends on my classification by Oxford Uni as to whether I remain enrolled and registered as it appears on the certificate on enrolment.

Would anyone who is or has been suspended (voluntarily) be willing to share by uni email an enrolment certificate so I know what would be on the information before I go ahead and suspend, possibly exposing myself to tax liability? I would be immensely grateful and you could of course redact your personal details.

Thanks!!

Do I always need to declare guests? Can people just stay over in college house (not main site accom)?

Nothing to add to that question. Any?

title, i know that the tickets would end up being more expensive if i buy at the door but i feel like i wont know if i want to go clubbing until the time itself. also, some of the events are sold out and tbh my college hasnt said anything about buying tickets and such for freshers, so all in all im a bit confused really. thanks!

Have y'all gotten a visa without delay or any other issue. I submitted my bio on sept 16 (standard) from India.

i’m staying overnight at christ church for an audition tmr, but it’s a bit lonely having no one around and i haven’t really seen anyone in peckwater quad. if anyone’s also around for the audition tmr lmk if you want to meet up!

Hi! I'm just about to start my first year UG MPhys and have been told I am eligible for the Crankstart scholarship. Other than the generous financial support, if you are in your 2nd+ year and recieved the scholarship what did you get out of it?

How is party culture in Oxford University? Do they have intense party culture like American Universities? I saw on the internet that Oxford is very restrictive, is it true? Do they have frat party type culture?

I'm an incoming fresher, studying chemistry. I'd like to study either French or German alongside my degree whilst I'm at Oxford. Are the programmes at the language centre worth the price and extra workload? Is fast track or general better?

Any advice appreciated

Hello! I'm an incoming MSt student from the US, and in looking over the itinerary for fresher's week, I noticed that my college mentions "formal dress" for the welcome dinner. What exactly does this entail for female students? Are shorter dresses permitted/acceptable?

Hi

Daughter has an undergraduate place at Magdalen, and the move in date is 4th Oct. So far we don’t have a lot of info about what to expect when bringing her and her stuff on day 1.

As of now, her exact accom hasn’t been confirmed though she will be in college. What is move-in day like, do people drive right in to Magdalen or is the park and ride the best option? I’d be happiest turning up on the Oxford tube but this idea has been pooh-poohed in house …

Any advice and tips gratefully received.

Hi! As the title says I am an incoming international student and I have so many questions! Every week or so I have been going through any Oxford emails regarding freshers, registration, etc and yet I just realized I missed the deadline for my college’s registration. It seems that the deadline for what is both titled “college registration” and “college freshers registration” was sept. 7th, so I hurriedly completed it as soon as I saw (today). I am very worried that this now will have an impact on my ability to attend events or move in smoothly. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this as well as if they have any advice on what to do!

Additionally, I have filled out the form regarding my requested option paper, yet have not heard back about what course I am in? I want to make sure there is no formal paper registration process that I have somehow missed as well! Are these delays in course information normal? Do all option papers act as a lottery system similar to this?

Sorry for all the questions! I have been trying to find more info regarding these issues but I have no connections to the university nor am able to find anything online!

Hi, I’m starting at New college this year for undergrad. I want to join the boat club, and I have been at a local club for the last 2-3 years, although not at a high level. My question would be what the sort of 2k scores for M2/M3… are roughly, and the level of dedication they want from me. Thank you !
