Oxford University

Today my British Culture and Society class went to Oxford University.  It wasn't the best field trip that we went on, but it was still really interesting to see.  Also, some of the sites on the tour were used in the filming of both The Golden Compass and the Harry Potter movies.

This is an aerial view of part of Oxford University.



This is the college that Sir Walter Raleigh went to.  Raleigh was later commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I to explore the new world, and he named Virginia after the virgin queen.


This is just a really beautiful garden outside of one of the colleges at Oxford.


This is the main quad at the largest college on campus.


This is one of the largest dining halls on campus.  It is also the dining hall that was used in the Harry Potter films.
