"Students coming to Oxford (or visitors!)" Top 5 Page for this destination Oxford Packing List Tip by shutterlust

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you're a student, you'll want to be prepared for all seasons, especially the cold and wet. Waterproof shoes are a must, especially when tramping through the rain! A good, warm coat is also essential. If you plan on cycling, bring shoes with good traction. Also, formal wear! Especially if you're an undergraduate, you'll likely be attending several black-tie events and you'll want to be ready with a tux or dress. And of course, the classic Oxford wear - sub-fusc!

For travellers, comfortable shoes (but I think this is traveller common sense!) because Oxford is very much a walking city, as there is no tube and no buses in central Oxford. And an umbrella or raincoat!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You can get what you need at Lloyd's or Boots, which are both littered throughout Oxford.

Photo Equipment: Plenty of film or a large memory card/stick is required in Oxford. There's just so much to see and photograph! I used up my 2gig memory card multiple times, kept having to clear it out on my computer while staying in Oxford. The whole city is a photo opportunity!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you care to, bring a football, some good trainers, a picnic blanket/basket, a swimsuit (to jump into the river in the summer!) and you're set for good Oxonian outdoor fun!

Miscellaneous: A bike, maybe?
