What is an Oxford College? How is an Oxford College different from Oxford University?
Just as the USA is made up of 50 separate states, so Oxford University is comprised of 38 different colleges. Each of the Oxford Colleges has its own dining hall, library, chapel, and JCR (Junior Common Room – think student life), and each has its own history and quirks as well. However, they all operate as parts of Oxford University, with the same standards for academic excellence and the same rules and regulations. Students will be placed (according to space availability and subject areas) at one Oxford College as a visiting student. This will allow them to participate in extracurricular activities, as well as to use the college library and dining facilities. All students will also be inducted into Oxford University’s main library, the Bodleian.
