OXFORD (some info & photos)

My fav. building in Oxford, Radcliffe Camera

•  Oxford is a beautiful city of stunning architecture, history and culture. Yo'll find ancient and modern colleges, fascinating museums and galleries, plenty of parks, gardens and green spaces in which to relax.

• Visitors to Oxford often ask "Where is the University?". The answer is  "You're standing in it!" Unlike most universities which tend to be purpose-built on distinct intergrated sites, the University of Oxford has evolved as a sprawling federation of largely autonomous colleges, which, for the most part, are found in the centre of the city. Each college has its own rules and constitution, and individuals are at the University of Oxford only by virtue of their membership of a college.

• The city centre is small enough to cover on foot, and only a few minutes' walk from then main rail and coach stations.
