Oxford is an amazing city full of history and architectural gems.
It is known for its literary giants, including J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Lewis Caroll among many others.
Throughout the city, you’ll find tributes and dedications to the great writers of Oxford.
Its streets are mostly bike friendly so you can ride all over town and not have to worry much about security.
There are cultural activities like theaters and a few museums and, of course, a couple of small shopping centers.
Nonetheless, it is a small quiet little town full of students so after a while, as in any other university town, you will just need to go out not to get bored out of your mind.

So... How Safe Is Oxford Really?
Oxford is a very safe city and you should feel relaxed here, for the most part, though it does has its share of dangers.
Oxford doesn’t have any “bad” areas as such but there are bits which are a little worse than other bits.
To the east, Headington and Marston are considered good areas, especially the older parts and the area around the John Radcliffe hospital, but just on the other side of the ring road are Barton and Risinghurst which are slightly less desirable and have a bit of a reputation, especially Barton.
In the south-east, you have Cowley and Blackbird Leys – the latter used to be an area notorious for joyriding but has improved.
Property-wise, lock up your bike (and if your bike is to “commute” rather than a piece of sports equipment for you, have a very cheap second-hand bike.)
Many people have witnessed attempts of bike stealing and drunk people shouting around.
As anywhere, keep mobile phones and money safe, and lock doors and windows.
Most students spend most of their time in colleges, labs/departments, and libraries which are guarded thus generally safer.
You can also spot the university security services who always make their rounds after working hours.
Cycling can be dangerous in the city as it’s quite complicated to drive in.
Member countries of the EU do not need visas to enter the United Kingdom, as well as some other countries, but there is a considerable number of countries that do. Your passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry into the United Kingdom.
Currency
The British pound is the currency in Oxford. Keep in mind that this is one of the most expensive countries in Europe and the prices of accommodation in most cities in the country are skyrocketing. You should bear in mind that you will need about 100? per day, including accommodation.

Airports
Oxford Airport, also known as Kidlington Airport, is a privately owned airport located some 11 km northwest by north of Oxford, and 100 km from Central London.
Travel Insurance

“Me? Oh—” Did the man hesitate, Sandy wondered. It seemed to be so before he continued. “I’m Everdail.” “You did just what I wanted,” he said. “Let’s get the airplane in. Then we can talk.” Both chums read the box he thrust under their eyes. Arizona had its full share of murder and sudden death. But New Mexico had more than that. Spring passed on there, with warmth for the snow-wrapped mountains, and blistering heat for the dead plains, and her way was marked with lifeless and mutilated forms. GEORGE III. "Yes," answered Shorty. "And I was out late last night." LOST IN A MAZE OF RAILROAD TRAINS. Shorty shoved the bill into his hand, and rushed down in front of Billings. "Well, I for one am goin' through, and I'm goin' to take Pete and Sandy with me," said Shorty, in a loud, confident tone, to brace up the others. "I've always gone through every one o' them things I've struck yit, and this ain't no worse'n the others. But we ought to jump 'em at once, while they're shiverin' over the shelling' we give 'em. They must be shakin' up there yit like a dog on a January mornin'. Why don't we start, I wonder?" "I ask you if you're afraid of me and I get the beginnings of a self-analysis," Dr. Haenlingen said. She walked three steps to the desk and sat down behind it, her hands clasped on the surface, her eyes staring at the younger woman. "If I'd let you go on I suppose you could have given me a yard and a half of assorted psychiatric jargon, complete with suggestions for a change in your pattern." "Now, wait a minute," Dodd said. Norma had been brain-washed into some silly set of slogans: it was his job to break them down. "The clan can elect leaders—" The second piece of land had thriven better than the first. The hops were sturdy and promising beside the brook, and on the higher grounds the new pastures fattened. Reuben had decided to dig up a couple of his old grass meadows and prepare them for grain-sowing in the autumn. The soil was good, and it was only his father's want of enterprise which had kept so much of Odiam as mere grazing land. As for the cows, there was ample provision for them on the new pastures, which Boarzell would continue to yield, even if it refused oats—"But I'll have oats there some day, I reckon," said Reuben, "oats, and barley, and maybe wheat." Richard flushed with pleasure. After all he was not acquitting himself so badly with this fine lady. They talked together for a few more minutes, the boy trying to clip his speech like hers. He noticed how much shorter and crisper it was than his—while he said "d?an't," she could say "don't" twice. Something almost like a sob shook Reuben. Then, ashamed of his weakness, he raised his head, and saw that behind Boarzell the night had lifted, and a cowslip paleness was creeping into the sky. The great dark hump of the Moor showed clearly against it with its tuft of firs. A faint thrill stole through Reuben's tired limbs. Boarzell was always there to be loved and fought for, even if he had no heart or arm but his own. Gradually hope stirred as the dawn crept among the clouds. The wind came rustling and whiffling to him over the heather, bringing him the rich damp smell of the earth he loved. Reuben shook his head. HoME完整一级A免费看片

Sore feet
It took me ages to get here by walking up Oxford Street in London. I had to sleep under a hedge. Please rename it “Long walk to Oxford Street”
