What are the best places to live in Oxford?

I’m moving to the U.K. for a year and I’ll be getting my apartment in Oxford. What is the best part of Oxford for an international student to live?

That sounds so exciting! There are a lot of beautiful places to live in Oxford, but some of the most highly-recommended locations include:
  • Botley
  • Headington
  • Grandpont
  • Cutteslowe
  • Jericho
  • Witney
According to Oxford and U.K. natives, however, you should avoid living in Cherwell. This neighborhood was rated as the worst place to live in Oxford, so choosing a different location would be wise. Overall, however, Oxford is extremely well-rated for living conditions, so it’s highly likely that you’ll enjoy your new home.
