Studing in Oxford

I went to Oxford 5 years ago to improve my English. It is one of the cities that I love.

When you arrive in Oxford, stop first at the Tourist Information Centre, located in The Broad near The Oxford Story.

Views of the town: to get an overview before you begin walking, try climbing up Carfax Tower in the city centre.

Other views over the city are available from the University Church of St Mary the Virgin in the High Street, and St Michael Northgate, in Cornmarket.

The University: Oxford is home to a world famous university, and most of the colleges and university buildings are located in the centre of Oxford, within easy walking distance of each other.

Don't miss the Bodleian Library, which has its own shop, and the nearby Radcliffe Camera, which is not open to the public, but is well worth a view from the outside.

Nearby, in Broad Street, is the Sheldonian Theatre, a venue for official university functions as well as a variety of concerts (tickets available from The Oxford Playhouse in Beaumont Street).

The University also owns the Ashmolean Museum on Beaumont Street (opposite The Playhouse), Britain's oldest public museum.
