Bright and early thismorning we got up and took 4 coaches to the wonderful city of Oxford. I didn't really know what to expect as I knew very little about the city. It was a fantastic sunny day and when we arrived we all had guided walking tours. Until going, I was unaware that Oxford is compsed of about 38 distinct colleges that students apply to all seperately. They all compete against eachother in sport and spirit, but all provide one with an Oxford degree. Each college has its own chapel (which is really more like a cathedral) as well as huge Harry Potter Dining Hall. Once a student is accepted to a college, they are basically a member for life. Often students will return to their home college chapel to get married in. Our tour guide listed off many celebs who were at Oxford including, Tolkien, CS Lewis, Hugh Grant, Bill Clinton and Mr. Bean! We saw places that inspired some of their stories,as well as their places of residence. It was a pretty cool experience walking through this city and it actually inspired me to feel like I should be studying or something....that passed quickily though. The above pic is just one of the many chapels associated with the individual colleges (I cant remember which one that is..)
