I wouldn't recommend oak house to postgrads - although it's cheap, it's incredibly noisy during term time and you're unlikely to get too many full nights' sleep. The nature of a massive undergrad population, mostly leaving home for the first time, is that things can get out of hand pretty often, so don't expect respect for people or property either. Also, once the undergrads are gone for the summer, they rent out the accommodation to all kinds of randoms, so if your summer plans involve a quiet few months with your thesis, I think you are unlikely to get that either.
