The atmosphere of intellect and prestige is largely unparallled, and that is a great advantage from which Oxford benefits. You are being taught and lectured by the people writing the textbook. However, it can get too stressful at times, and the problem with this is that being stressed to some degree is the norm, so you fee as if it takes a really severe case of stress (e.g. resulting in mental health issues) before it is 'legitimate' to speak up, even though it should not be as such.

Stressful at times but loads of freedom and vibrant club. Societies scene.
