sorry i'm not very helpful because i actually got rejected for maths, but i believe that if you feel you will not enjoy your time there then it is a good idea to consider rejecting the offer! it might help if you can talk to current students, especially those doing your subject. i have reflected and thought i will definitely be happier elsewhere, the atmosphere is not for me

Hi! I have experience being a student at both Oxford and one of the London unis. Let me know if you want to talk through your options. I could DM you

Perhaps make a list of what you like about each of the universities that have offered you a place, and of any reservations which you have about each of them. Perhaps go to the offer holder day (if any) at the college which has offered you a place and at each other university which has offered you a place. Please don't choose on the basis of what others expect you to do. Please choose the university where you can see yourself being the happiest.

I would say go and visit and decide after that.Just like to say that the interviews are really nothing like the tutorials just in case that is putting you off.
I was very dubious when son announced he wanted to apply.We had no Oxbridge experience and I really thought it was going to be really alien to us.We went to both the open days visited about 8 colleges and by the end I thought I think this would suit him actually.
We also visited all his other choices.One was just a flat out no yet I know other people who rave about that uni.Every one of them was very different and until you visit you just do not know.
So that's my advice.And look at the course content too but vibes are most important thing.
Give Oxford the same chance as the others and then do what makes you happy.
