At Oxford, students reside in colleges, each with its unique character and traditions. Colleges provide a sense of community and support, fostering close-knit relationships among students. Cambridge, on the other hand, offers a mix of college and university-owned accommodation, allowing students to choose between a traditional collegiate experience or a more independent lifestyle.

Both Oxford and Cambridge boast a vast array of student societies and clubs, catering to a wide range of interests. From academic societies to sports clubs, musical ensembles to political groups, there’s something for every student to explore and connect with like-minded individuals.
Cultural Traditions and Social Atmosphere
Oxford and Cambridge are steeped in history and tradition. Oxford’s formal dinners, known as “Halls,” are a unique and cherished part of college life. Cambridge, too, has its share of traditions, such as the May Bumps, an annual rowing race that attracts thousands of spectators.
