Oxford, England

I am extremely behind on my posts, so I will go ahead and start where I left off.

Dr. Mee, our Statistics professor, set up a day trip to Oxford. We have been doing a study of C. S. Lewis through Dr. Mee's discussion of The Question of God. This was a great way for all of us to talk about our beliefs while getting to know each other better.

Through the study we all went together on a trip to Oxford, which is where C. S. Lewis taught and lived for a good part of his life. Not only were we able to learn about him from Dr. Mee and see the college he taught at (The New College), but we were also able to learn all about Oxford University. Some of the amazing things that we were able to see were Magdalen College, Radcliffe Camera (seen on the right), Christ's Church, Trinity College, and a bunch of things related to C. S. Lewis. And now I can officially say that I've been to Oxford University... complete with a shirt and all!

Oxford is made up of almost 40 colleges that all are almost completely independant of one another. One of the most amazing and well known colleges is Christ Church College. This was made famous by being the site where a lot of the Harry Potter movies were filmed. We were able to see the Great Hall and the stair case where many scenes were filmed.

10  points for Gryffindor if you can guess where we are!!!
