Youth hostels are great!

Don’t know what the “association” means. Much depends on where one lives. If he can live at New College (or is close by), he should by all means do it!!! It is the center of Oxford, the oldest place there, with the most famous choir, and tourists are restricted. Hertford, a more modern foundation, is next door. Christ Church is the largest college, where much of British royalty has gone, and is also where they filmed much of Harry Potter (and has a 12th Century Cathedral in the grounds. But it is the center of the tourist haunt. St. Catz is way off the beaten path (but fun if you like bicycles.)

I know about Opus, and it is said to be terrific. A big advantage in that you take all your meals at the affiliated college.
