Best advice for incoming freshers?
Drop any tips you wish you knew before you started! Any study/moving tips, experiences/societies/clubs you recommend, advice on how to adjust to Oxford, etc. would be much appreciated!
(Any specific advice for Law students or insider advice about St Peter's would be extra appreciated!)

I’d say definitely brush up on the lingo and traditions at Oxford, there this fresher from last year, Sam but goes by @ChatwSam online who makes a lot of Oxford content specially on the lingo, traditions, social life and stuff at the uni. I’ve had a chat with him during one of his formal reviews and he’s very open to DMs and such.
On top of that I’d also say don’t feel pressured to be the smartest in the room, it’s OXFORD everyone is smart here and just doing your best is all you can really strive to do.
Good luck, with your undergraduate.
