Oxford is renowned as one of England's two great university towns (the other town being CAMBRIDGE, in case you're wondering...), steeped in history and tradition. The University is NOT a campus but a collection of 36 colleges and 5 halls scattered around the city center.... alongside the many shops and buildings. I hadn't realized this until we toured around Oxford!
Today, Oxford University accounts for almost 15,000 of the City's total population of 115,000 people! :-)
