If you are thinking about visiting the University of Oxford, or if you are thinking of studying at the world-famous institution, there is no better place to stay than the Remont Oxford Hotel.
The oldest university in the English-speaking world, the University of Oxford is renowned the world over for helping to teach the world’s greatest minds.
With alumni such as Stephen Hawking, Oscar Wilde, JRR Tolkien, Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Grant, John Locke, Imran Khan, Sir Walter Raleigh, Bill Clinton and Boris Johnson, there are no shortage of graduates who have gone on to make a big difference to the world. There have been 69 Nobel Prize winners, 3 Fields Medalists and 6 Turing Award winners who studied at Oxford, as well as 160 Olympic medals.
There is evidence that teaching took place at the university as early as 1096.
There are 39 colleges at Oxford and a range of academic departments, all of which are self-governing. The buildings are scattered around the city, meaning that there is not a main campus.
With the world’s oldest university museum and the largest university press in the world, it is clear to see why Oxford has such a high standing among international learning institutions.
As well as the main sites, there are acres upon acres of parkland that is open to the public during daylight hours.
About The University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and has 38 colleges and six private halls.
The university features the Bodleian Library, which was founded in 1602 and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. It is the second biggest library in the UK, after the British Library.
It is not known when Oxford University was founded although there is evidence of teaching as long ago as 1096. The university grew from 1167 which was when Henry II introduced a ban on English students from attending the University of Paris. This ban was introduced after Thomas Becket was murdered.
At the start of the 13th Century there were fights between the students in Oxford and residents and some teachers and students left the university in 1209 and started a new university in Cambridge.
Before 1920 women were not allowed to do degrees at Oxford, although before that time some women did study there. Today all colleges allow both women and men as students with the number of female and male students roughly the same.
One of the university’s most famous teachers was Lewis Carroll who wrote Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass stories for children.
Oxford University is steeped in history and its colleges and halls have lots of impressive features such as gatehouses, potters lodges, quadrangles, dining halls, gardens, chapels, libraries and living accommodations for students. Some of the colleges are better known than others due to the students who have become better known.
