Brookes: there are quite a many international students, so the campus is quite diverse. But you get to have a campus, which is great. There are many student events which are really popular- nice gigs etc. So it's quite lively.
Headington is like a town, so you can get all stuffs there without coming to the city centre.

Oxford city: Lively on Weds, Thurs, Fri & Sat nights :wink:

There are some nice clubs, but apparently they don't compare to clubs elsewhere. On hindsight, I would say that Oxford is quite lively too- due to the wide range of people, cuisine, culture etc.

I have some friends at Brookes who seem to be loving their studies... and because of the semester system, your classes apparently gets over by May 2nd week.
