it depends what you're looking for - Headington is Ok has good pubs etc. or for maximum oxford atmosphere any where near Cowley road but NOT Blackbird/Greater Leys or Rose Hill, unless you've got an ASBO!

Jericho,summertown or the city center can be great to live but that's the most expensive places... of courses!

I visited oxford about 4 yrs ago and left 3 yrs ago
and I've no chance to meet any korean resident there
i mean south koreans, not north
what is the reputation of south korean in this area??
am plaanning to go back to uk next year
and I dunno....
am actually worrying about the racial discrimination...
actually i'm not "totally asian" i mean quarter blood
but still i look a lot like asian
moreover don't speak british english.....
I use american english
am trying to correct and improve it....but not so easy.....D:

in my country, american culture is dominant
and actually have almost no chance to know anything about UK
and i had no chance to meet any biritish ppl in this country although I know tones of foreign ppl living in korea...

I wanna know more about UK
and I'm wondering wheter it would be harsh for me to living in oxford at least for 4 yrs...

West Oxfordshire is the nicest, lovely countryside, less crime too!

Yeah, west oxfordshire, particularly witney and other surrounding areas. Much cheaper to live in, and a good bus service, if you feel like you need the night life, which aint bad in witney, but it can get a bit claustrophobic on a ssaturday or friday night, although there are plenty of pubs if that sort of thing is your bag!
