 Oxford,
the City of Dreaming Spires, is famous the world over for
its University and place in history. Oxford is renowned
as one of England's two great university towns, steeped
in history and tradition.
The university is not a campus but a collection of 36 colleges
and 5 halls scattered around the city centre alongside the
shops and offices of commercial Oxford. For over 800 years,
it has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the
9th century an established town, although people are known
to have lived in the area for thousands of years. Nowadays,
the city is a bustling cosmopolitan town. |
