No problem at all. It was interesting getting used to certain words and catchphrases though (e.g. french fries are 'chips', chips are 'crisps').

This hardly applies, as I speak English and studied in an English-speaking country, but it was great to learn all of the colloquialisms abroad!

Personal spending habits
England is far more expensive than Italy...It will cost a lot, but it's worth doing because a degree in Ox4d has actually helped me getting a good - well paid - job. Take it as an investment, but try to get a grant. Plan an overall expense of ab. 18-19K Euro.

Course recommendations
As a visiting student, think broadly. Do not let people tell you what to do; explore areas off the beaten path; it took me one term (trimester) to find this out.

Personal comments
In certain scientific fields (e.g. physics) Oxford is far lacking behind continental universities and in reality does not match its reputation.
