Oxford University

Hey y'all! So Last week the rest of my class and I took ventured out to Oxford College for the day. Upon arriving, we started a tour with our professor of the "campus"- which is basically 40 plus buildings dispersed around the entire city making up the entirety of the college. It was fascinating to hear about their version of college life. They don't have to take GE's, which is slightly annoying but it's fine.. and they  usually only attend for a total of three years. I also realized that Oxford along with most other colleges in England are all public, which was a huge surprise (I assumed with all the wealth they would probably only have private schools). 

The architecture of the city and the college was truly magical. I can't imaging going to class, then taking a quick lunch break on the steps outside the massive Cathediral. What a beautiful and historical place to get your education. I'm going  peer pressure my little sister to go here so I can visit and never leave... Sorry, Celestey! 

Here are some of the pictures I took on my excursion! Hope you all enjoy! 


St. Paul's Cathedral

This is not a fairytale, this is real life. 


A quaint little neighbourhood that I'm not sure anyone actually lives in. 

They have the cutest bars... ON their campus..

Went to the bar that C.S Lewis wrote The Chronicles of Narnia in!
