Oxford Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves
"Since the first homework was assigned in 1167, I've seen how the University of Oxford's stellar graduates have influenced Western civilization: its alumni include 27 British prime ministers, more than 60 Nobel Prize winners, well-known writers and actors, and even 11 saints. I enjoy strolling the garden where Lewis Carroll dreamed up his adventures for Alice, popping into the dining hall that inspired the one where Harry Potter eats, and wandering past the pub where J. R. R. Tolkien first spoke about hobbits; the university buildings are surrounded by a fun college town filled with cheap eats and rowdy, rollicking pubs nestled in honey-colored limestone buildings." - RICKSTEVES
