Hey, I'm about to start my DPhil at Oxford and haven't been able to understand the food situation at Oxford. I am someone who likes to eat a meat-heavy diet and was wondering if the hall meals would be sufficient to maintain a high-protein diet, or if I'll have to cook for myself.

If it is the latter, will I be able to cook for myself extensively/meal prep for a week at a time? Also how affordable would it be to cook? I plan on keeping my monthly food budget under 300 pound.

Hi all - I’m in a position to open a study/community space on Cornmarket Street.

What do you look for in a study space, or what would you want?

Tables and chairs are a given… but anything else specific that would make you want to go there?

I visited today for an open day (not for me) and it was so so good I really want to buy whatever beans or powder they use. Anyone know what I should look for?

I have a pair of black low high heel shoes, but they have a golden buckle and black ribbon bows on the front. Do they fit sub fusc requirements?

Hi all, I am joining oxford for CS this october, and wanted to know if there are any requirements for laptops for this course. I will buy accordingly. If anyone knows (seniors,passouts, others etc) pls inform?

Guys, I am an Oxford uni alumna and I am looking for places (preferably a library) to revise for an exam but I went to radcam yesterday and I kid you not, I was in sweats. I also went to study at Westgate library two days before and it was the same, no aircon! Plus it’s distracting.

Can anyone recommend a fully aircon place/library where I can sit and do my mock exams on my own laptop (preferably a very quiet place) I have a readers card.

Thank you so much

Incoming international grad student and wondering how people tend to dress for class. Coming from a US uni where people wear anything from pajamas to formal wear (I just dress casually). I understand that there is required dress for sitting exams and graduation, but how do people tend to dress for lectures?

In my entire Oxford student life I never went to a ball and I see people posting fun pictures… which makes me regret my decision thinking this is an essential part of Oxford life that I missed out on completely. I couldn’t go only because I couldn’t afford it. I have overwhelming student debt and I can’t drop £250 without thinking twice.

In fact even if I thought twice I couldn’t do it..just wanted to ask if there was anyone like me? I see my friends going to 2/3 balls in the span of a week and it makes me a little sad…

What was your experience there like?

I've only been to one formal at christ church and that surpassed the rest by far! (But to be fair, it was my cultural food so maybe I'm biased)

Unless I'm mistaken and some subjects have exams in July or August, if you took an exam today you took part in the hottest Oxford exam since records began, likely ever!

If its so hot, what I don't get is why don't they just bring in standing fans for better ventilation. It's terrible in the examination schools, with or without subfusc.

I work for the Wall Street Journal and am looking at a story on student debt in the UK.

If you're British, are doing or did an undergrad, have student loans, and want to talk about it, please comment or message me.

Especially reach out if you're open to being named in the story.
