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.

Overall
I wish I had known...
Studying law in the UK it's a whole different thing from Italy! Be prepared to digest tons of pages in a short time and to make sense out of it - not just learning them by heart....

Personal spending habits
England is far more expensive than Italy...It will cost a lot, but it's worth doing because a degree in Ox4d has actually helped me getting a good - well paid - job. Take it as an investment, but try to get a grant. Plan an overall expense of ab. 18-19K Euro.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I'd choose a different college, maybe. St.Catherine is ok, but other colleges are much better.

Personal comments
It was Ok. Food was quite horrible, though in line with UK standards. For the rest, it was ok, with a good common room, and a few nice social activities. Gym was excellent and the location is very good too: 1 min. walking from hte law faculty...

Personal comments
Great pubs, like Bath's place. Still, don't expect London, Oxford is a little town and in wintertime it could be really boring.
