Which university to choose?

Hey guys! I want to study in the uk, but I have no idea which university I should choose. My first choice is Oxford, but since the chances of getting in aren't that big, I want a backup. I've tried searching universities on the internet but there are so many that I have no idea which one would suit me.

The thing I'm looking for is an university with live-in accommodation, such as halls and not shared flats, for at least 2 years. I'm not looking for a party uni but really somewhere with a more academic atmosphere and where students are serious about their education and care about hard work. Preferably an university with a good reputation and that's highly thought of.
Then the last and probably most difficult thing, since I absolutely love the vibe of Oxford, I'm looking for something similar. Old buildings and beautiful libraries hold my heart, and being accommodated in the heart of the city would be great. I'm less fond of modern universities.

Anyway, does a place like this exist? And where do I find it? Or any other recommendations for universities? I don't live in the uk, so any thoughts would be helpful!

Thanks
