University of Oxford

The University of Oxford is the oldest English college in the world and has maintained a reputation of excellence since then. Young University has a great relationship with a few staff members of Oxford. The principle of Harris Manchester College (study of theology and religion) came and spoke to us in a formal setting the Sunday before we took our visit to Oxford. He surprised us by inviting us to tea and having a private tour of his college. Before our appointment we wondered around the lovely college town and campus of Oxford. 

Oxford Campus

Before our appointment we wondered around the lovely college town and campus of Oxford. We went to Christ’s Church to see the Dining Hall that has notoriously been feeding visitors that come to the campus as well as starring as the Great Hall in the first Harry Potter film. It was really fun to take a seat and feel the prestige that just looms in the air in the ancient dining hall. We wanted to go into the basilica shaped library, but you have to be a student of Oxford to go in there. We did go to the top of the Sheldonian Theatre that was designed by the infamous Christopher Wren to accommodate formal university ceremonies. I felt an English hospitality the entire time we were in Oxford; it was great.
