Oxford University is different from other universities. The city and the university are integrated, and the street runs through the campus. Universities not only have no gates and walls, but also have no official signs. Oxford has a central school (including school and department libraries and science laboratories), 38 colleges and 7 permanent private halls (PPH). These colleges are not only dormitories, but are essentially responsible for undergraduate and graduate teaching. Some colleges only accept graduate students, usually new ones established in the past century, such as wolfson College. Moreover, there is a college that does not enroll students at all, and that is Wanling College.

The streets around the city center are covered with medieval quadrangles, each of which is a college. At that time, because learning was the patent of the church, all the academies were quadrangular architectural designs, but they were often surrounded by beautiful gardens. Although great changes have taken place in most colleges over the years, they still incorporate many original features.

Each college is exactly like a medieval monastery, and there are many towers in the city, hence the name "Tacheng". The library in the People's Court, built in 137 1, is the oldest library in England. University Botanical Garden, built in 162 1, is the earliest teaching botanical garden in Britain.

Square, church, theatre

Radcliffe Square is the center of university celebrations and various cultural activities, and the center of the whole ancient city.

St Mary's church is located in the south of the square. /kloc-before the 0/7th century, major school celebrations and concerts were held here. On the west side of the square is Brasenose College, which was built in 1509. When the college was founded, it was named after a bronze "lion nose knocker" on the gate. There is a sapphire sundial clock in heaven at the main entrance of the college.

In the west corner of the square is a seminary built in the15th century. The Redcliffe Building with a classical dome is a very special building in Oxford. This is the original building of the library. In the early days, it was used as a seminar classroom in the university, and later it was changed to the reading room of Bodlian Library in the university library.

Christchurch is affectionately called "house" by Oxford people. All souls college is the only college in Oxford without college students. Because there are only graduate students in the college, it is considered as one of the most authoritative institutions of higher learning in the world. The castle of Modlin College in the east of the city is called "solidified music", which is really beautiful and unusual. The bell tower is made of Daqing stone, pointing to the sky.

Built in the17th century, the Sherdennian Theatre is the first building designed by Karen, and it is also the venue for the traditional degree awarding ceremony of Oxford University. Every summer, at the end of the semester, students in black robes and square hats March across the street and enter the theater, where they are awarded degrees.

187 1 canceled the requirement that undergraduates must believe in the Anglican church. Before 1920, knowledge of ancient Greece was necessary. Before 1960, you need to know Latin. Women can't get an Oxford degree until 1920.

The bridge of sighs is beautiful. This beautiful landmark was built in 19 14. It is a replica of the steep arch bridge in Venice, connecting Hertford College.

Notre Dame Church: It is said that this university church is the most visited parish church in England, including the ancient part of the tower built in the early14th century, from which you can enjoy beautiful scenery. The church is 1555 where three Oxford martyrs were called heretics. The biggest feature of the building is the baroque south porch built in 1637.

Lincoln college: the best preserved medieval college. The school building still retains the early roof, including cracks used to disperse smoke.

Magdalen College: This is a typical and beautiful Oxford College. Its square garden style in the15th century is in sharp contrast with the park across the Modlin Bridge on the Qierwei River. Most importantly, there are many manuscripts of famous articles and music in the library. These manuscripts are put in exquisite glass cabinets for people to visit. But when each visitor finished reading it, the managers immediately covered it with black flannel.

Theatre, bookstore

The main venue for university celebrations is the Sheldon Theatre, which is located in the north of the square. Around the 17th century, due to the clergy of St Mary's Church, there were too many protests in the church, which affected the cleanliness of the church. So in 1669, Archbishop Sheldon, then president of the university, raised funds to build this theater. Opposite the theater is Blackwell Bookstore, the second largest bookstore in the world, where you can buy or mail-order books from all over the world.

There are almost as many bookstores in Oxford as there are libraries, with more than 100 large and small. There is Blackwell Bookstore, the largest academic bookstore in the world, and many small but rich old bookstores. Blackwell, a century-old shop, was founded in 1897, opposite the Bodlin Library. While selling books, I am also engaged in publishing. It has 78 chain stores in Britain, and there are more than 10 branches in Oxford alone, dealing in books and audio-visual materials such as art and literature. In addition, there are many branches in other countries. Through the Internet, readers can quickly search, order and buy books and enjoy first-class international services. 1On June 8, 1994, US President Bill Clinton returned to his alma mater, Oxford University, to attend the honorary academician award ceremony and went to this bookstore to buy books.
