What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Oxford. They wrote...

"Expats in Oxford, may find the reserved nature of the British people challenging, as it can be difficult to form close friendships and social connections. They might also struggle with the local slang and accents, making it hard to understand conversations at times. The weather in Oxford can be unpredictable, with frequent rain and grey skies, which may affect the mood and outdoor activities of expats. Additionally, the high cost of living, particularly for housing, can be a significant challenge for those moving to the area. The British bureaucracy and paperwork involved in setting up a life in Oxford, such as opening a bank account or registering with a doctor, can be time-consuming and frustrating. Finally, adjusting to the local customs and traditions, such as queuing, pub culture, and the importance of tea, may take some time for expats to get used to," remarked another expat in Oxford, England.
