Ah! Sorry, for some reason I didn't see that you go to Oxford. Is the campus very large?

I walk about a mile to and from work these days, so walking doesn't bother me too much. I think I'm just more worried that being too far from campus would hamper my ability to immerse myself in grad school "life." Have you found it easy to participate in university activities?

Hi all! I will be attending MIT starting this fall. Very excited! I have a slightly unique housing circumstance that I hope someone could help with. I've been working in Boston/Cambridge this past year and have an apartment maybe 20 min walk from MIT. Good neighborhood, my apartment is small but nice, and the rent is definitely-not-cheap but reasonable for the area. I'm wondering if I should either renew my lease or move into MIT graduate housing to be slightly closer to campus/campus life? Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?
