A
If you want to walk in the footsteps of some of the world's greatest figures, then go to Oxford. Many of Oxford's 38 colleges are open to the public all year round. Here are a few of the colleges worth visiting and some famous people who have studied there.
Christ Church College
Long before it became known as a location for the Harry Potter films, Christ Church was the college where Albert Einstein, author Charles Dodgson who wrote Alice in Wonderland, and 13 British prime ministers studied. In the largest and one of the most popular colleges, you'll want to can see the paintings in the 16th-century Great Hall, historic Christ Church Cathedral-England's smallest cathedral, and listen to the tick of Great Tom, the seven-ton tower bell.
Magdalen College
Many consider Magdalen to be one of the most beautiful of Oxford's colleges. This is where poet and playwrite Oscar Wilde read"Greats"(a classics course) in the 1870s, and where actor, comedian and pianist Dudley Moore earned a scholarship to study music. See the medieval(中世纪的) church with its 15th-century tower. Opposite the college is the beautiful Botanic Garden-Britain's oldest one-founded in 1621.
