Have I made the wrong accommodation plans?
I initially assumed that my Hall (Paul Kent) was 1.5 miles or so away from my Campus, Headington - however after looking closer I realised I am in the Wheatley campus for my Computing course.
The new distance is around 5 miles, I guess I've got no problem traveling once I know the route but does anyone think I should look to relocate my halls? Lady spencer is apparently on the Wheatley Campus site and is my second accommodation choice.
Thanks! -

Paul Kent is 15 mins bus ride away from Wheatley.
It is nearer to Oxford / Headington / Cowley shopping areas aswell.
If your at wheatley it does have stuff in the village; asda, banks, takeaways, bakery, pubs etc
But Paul Kent is nearer to more of them
You have made a good choice. If you were at Lady Spencer you might find yourself wanting to move since wheatley is 30mins - 1hr away from oxford centre, Paul Kent is 10-20mins away
Any other questions just ask.

ps your bus route is simple ; walk outside cross the road. get on the u5x get off at wheatley.
