Personal spending habits
the pound was very strong compared to the swiss franc. oxford is a very expensive city as such. but drinks and entrys to bars etc. are student friendly. i had no telephone access at my corridor so had to get my own mobile. basic but good food (except meat) is more expensive that expected. public transport is rather poor in britain and not nationaly handled. therefore it is hard to get reduced prices (as long as you don't plan far ahead).

Each human being has own mission in life; it is His duty to inform others regarding how He thinks and what desires Himself of this life.

Philosophy, 2022
Overall
Philosophy is a path, an essential leading, to a reality of physical living entities regarding the value of their true knowledge. Individuals who studies philosophy at universities; they are in the right direction of the reality, but it does not mean each of them is going to be a philosopher. If they are, so every living being is more or less a philosophical student at least of her own life. 
Can this as a subject be taught? It does not so simple so that every teacher is teaching it, but students can engage in learning activities. As a result, they can reach their own internal abilities of thinking. In short, Philosophy is true knowledge, and the true philosopher is one who creates own philosophy rather than philosophizing something which is already exist.

Course recommendations
Taught graduate course are extremely formulaic and intensive and, depending on subject, the student is left with little choice. Research Masters degrees are the way to go for really exploring individual interests.

I think in Oxford is easier than anywhere else in the UK: lots of people from abroad and very cultivated local students - but still UK slang can be difficult at times.
