"Expats in Oxford, often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. They may join sports clubs such as football, rugby, or cricket, or participate in fitness classes at local gyms. There are also numerous cultural and arts societies, such as theatre groups, choirs, and art classes, which are popular among expats. Language exchange groups are another popular choice, where expats can improve their English skills while helping others learn their native language. Book clubs, cooking classes, and wine tasting events are also common activities that expats join to socialize and meet locals. In addition to joining clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work or studies. Universities and colleges in Oxford have a diverse international community and often host events and socials specifically for international students or staff. Expats also meet people through volunteering. Oxford has a vibrant volunteer community, and there are many opportunities to get involved in local charities or community projects. This not only helps expats to meet people, but also to feel more connected to their new home. Networking events and social meetups are another way for expats to meet people in Oxford. There are several groups and organizations that host regular events for expats, such as the Oxford Expat Club or the International Friends in Oxford group. These events are a great way to meet other expats, share experiences, and make new friends. Finally, many expats meet people simply by exploring the city and getting involved in local life. This could be through visiting local pubs and cafes, attending local festivals and events, or even just striking up a conversation with a neighbour. Oxford is a friendly and welcoming city, and many expats find that they quickly feel at home," wrote a member who made the move to Oxford, England.
