Oxford University is a public research university with a traditional collegiate system. It&#39;s the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and has a significant number of Chinese students. It has 39 colleges, with classic and elegant campus architecture and 4-5 museums. I stayed one night and two days, which felt like enough time. It&#39;s conveniently located, just over an hour by bus to London. It&#39;s not large; you can mostly walk. The late autumn scenery is stunning. Renting an Airbnb costs around 700 RMB per night, which is worthwhile. The culinary arts college requires an entrance fee; it&#39;s become commercialized. This was my second visit.
