I've moved to Oxford UK for my co-op term at Decisionsoft. I've found a place to live with great people for an obscene amount of money. I'm living with 3 students from Waterloo: Jenn, Sean and Francis. We live in a 5 bedroom flat (no common room except the kitchen). As of now our flat doesn't have a phone, and we don't have a 5th flatmate yet.
I think that Oxford is the nicest city imagineable. It's old and there's so much history. It's also really manageable and everything's centralized. It's a big student town. And it's really easy to get into London (about a 1 hour train ride).
I've been here just over a week and I'm already pretty used to things that I thought I'd never get used to. I'm used to the 'driving on the wrong side of the road thing'. I'm also getting really used to the accents. (aside: Yesterday a cashier made Jenn say "about" because she was Canadian... Isn't that weird?) And the weather isn't awful (yet?). It's never really hot but there have been some great sunny days.
I also think that this blog is hideous but everyone else has taken the good templates! I might or might not make it better.
