University Of Oxford

We stayed for a week doing a summer program in the continuing education program. Highlights were being in this incredible school and town, and particularly dining in the great hall each night. The «dorm» facilities are what you’d expect from a very old, historic place … so-​so. We were in the «penthouse» up 65 stairs, with 2 twin beds, no AC (usually not needed), and a tiny private bathroom (many floors have shared baths). I’m glad I had the experience but probably won’t repeat for a decade or so. The program is only in the summer (it’s called «the Oxford Experience») and the town is jam packed. But on campus in the evenings it’s peaceful and beautiful and Evensong in the cathedral and croquet in the Master’s garden is wonderful.

While I attended school, I saw them filming parts of The Golden Compass. This school is filled with so much history, and the buildings have a golden hue when it’s sunny. The different colleges have great character, except my dorm room looked like it was the same since the 14^th C when it was first built. My friends room was nice and modern, I guess I lucked out. The dining common food was okay, it definitely lacked taste on some nights, but it may be because I ordered vegetarian meals every night. Most of the dining halls are harry potter-​esque, seeing as how it was filmed in the vicinity.
Love this place, love the countryside, I would live in the UK if I could.
