Last Wednesday we went to Oxford. I was really looking forward to it because I loved Cambridge so much and assumed they would be somewhat similar. Nope! Complete opposites. Oxford is much more spread out and the colleges are super different from one another. It feels more like a shopping plaza kind of place. So overall I think I liked the campus feel of Cambridge better. But oxford still had a lot to offer and was sweeeet.
The first college we visited was Christ's Church. It was for sure my favorite. This is where they filmed parts of the first Harry Potter. Such a cool building! There were so many people in there though. HP fans probably haha. It was super clausty. After that college we went to St. Mary's Church. Unlike Christ's church, it is not considered a college. It's was such a beautiful building and had amazing architecture. Then we walked around the rest of the day finding other colleges and neat places. Of course we all got our Oxford gear and by the time we all decided on which shirt to get... it was time to leave. Another great day!

I forgot to mention that for lunch we all ordered French Onion soup. Sadly this is what was brought out to us... orange goo, mushy crouton like things, and zero flavor. But of course there was bread that got us through (all we eat). Haha. That's english food for ya! Haha sick nastyyy.
