Oxford has always been one of the cities in England that I wanted to visit and ever since Oxford Brookes became one of my exchange choices, I was determined to go there one day. This christmas break, my cousin Kate (who's house I live at in Devizes over holidays) put out the idea of us driving up to Oxford and of course I didn't decline. The city has
beautiful, old buildings -more than usual for cities in England (or so it seemed!). Since we went when the University of Oxford was closed for christmas, we didn't get to go into all of the college buildings but seeing them from the outside was enough.. even with the ugly, overcast skies!
The entrance to the Bodleian Library. It was closed unfortunately!
The Bridge of Sighs
The Radcliff Camera aka the science library -also closed.
The university church of St.Mary
So many rainbow buildings!
Carfax Tower
The view!
Christ Church College courtyard. All of the little doors around the wall are houses for PhD students (!!!). Sign me up?
Dining hall for first years in Christ Church College. Harry Potter anyone?
Balliol College courtyard /\ and outside \/
Oxford Castle
