Oxford University
Oxford - the University.  The University has 39 colleges and 7
"Permanent Private Halls". The colleges are listed below and the links,
where available, are to our pages of postcards of the colleges.  In
addition, each college has its own website and links are provided to these
from the corresponding web page. In keeping with our policy only to
include postcards which are at least 50 years old, the list of colleges does
not include those founded after 1960. We are working on each college as
time permits, so if there is not yet a link to your favourite, please be
patient. We do not have postcards of every college so if you can provide
us with some images - and with some recollections of university life,
interesting facts and figures, anecdotes etc, we would be most grateful.
You may contact us via
this link.

Information given here about the colleges has been gleaned from a
variety of books and websites.

I have a cousin who is well-known for her verbal gymnastics. My favourite occurred
when she exclaimed that someone should have gone to "Unid Oxiversity" !
