"There are 38 colleges in Oxford, and the relationship between them and the schools is like the relationship between the central government and local governments in the United States. Each college is managed by Head of House and several Fellows, who are experts in various academic fields, most of which have positions in the school. Six associate colleges (called "Permanent Private Halls", run by various religious denominations), still retain their religious charters."

"Blenheim Palace, also known as Churchill Manor, is the residence of the Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. It is the only non-religious and non-royal building in the UK that has the title of "palace", and it is also a classic of British gardens. The palace is located in Woodstock, Oxford and was built by John Van Burr. It integrates pastoral scenery, gardens and courtyards, showing an outstanding style. In 1987, this mansion was listed as a world cultural heritage."

"This is an area with dense attractions. In addition to St. Mary's Church, Shelton Theatre and Bodleian Library are also among them. These two can be regarded as landmarks of Oxford. St. Mary’s Church is the main church of Oxford University. It has a history of nearly a thousand years and its architecture is magnificent and gorgeous. There is a cafe on the first floor. Before the visit, we chose to have an afternoon tea here. Only when we are full can we have the strength to climb the clock tower, haha! Taking a picture of afternoon tea with the Bodleian Library as the background is also very feel! The church is actually very general, there is nothing special to see, but from her tower you can see the most photogenic study room of Radcliff Camera and All Souls College in Oxford. This is also a classic angle that has appeared in many movies. It is very spectacular. . (Picture 8-13) You still have to buy a ticket to climb the clock tower, 4 pounds. After boarding the clock tower, two classics will immediately appear before your eyes! Looking to the right, it is the majestic Petronas Twin Towers. That college is All Souls College. The college on the left is called Brasenose College, named after a bronze nose decoration in the College Hall."

The collection of natural philosophy and medical related devices is very impressive."

"The Redcliffe Camera at Oxford University has become one of the landmarks and beautiful skyline of Oxford University due to its unique dome. This wonderful baroque building. The circular building is inspired by the Tower of Wind in Athens. The library is the most authoritative library in Oxford University, and books published by Oxford Press have collections."
