Major spoilers for both the book and the movie My Oxford Year are ahead! Read with caution. If you’d like to watch the film, you can do so with a Netflix subscription. I was very sad when I finished the book-to-screen adaptation of My Oxford Year,

On her first day in Oxford, Anna is drenched by a rude driver that she later confronts in a fish-and-chips shop. The rude man’s name is Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest). Jamie’s friend Cecelia (Poppy Gilbert) ribs Jamie for being a player, when he’s forced to hide from a woman that he never called back.

Some of the university scenes were filmed on location, at Oxford University. Specifically, filming took pklace at Magdalen College, which is one of the constituent colleges that make up the university. The official name of the college is: The President and Scholars of the College of St. Mary Magdalen in the University of Oxford.
