Oxford
(1)There are more than thirty Universities in Great Britain. The biggest University of all modern English Universities is London University. The oldest English Universities are Oxford and Cambridge.
(2)Oxford was founded in the 12th century as an aristocratic University and it remains aristocratic to the present day. Very few children from families with low income can afford to study there as the cost of study is very high. Students have to pay for everything – for using books, libraries, for taking examinations, etc.
(3)Oxford organization is very complicated. In fact the University is a collection of Colleges. There are 32 colleges in Oxford: 27 colleges for men and 5 colleges for women. Each college is a world of its own which gives its students a specialized training in arts, law, medicine, science, etc. The largest college has 500 students, the smallest college – 100 students.
(4)Oxford and Cambridge have a tutorial system of education which brings the tutor into close and personal contact with the student. And this is the main way in which these Universities differ from other English Universities. Every student has a tutor who plans his work and discusses it with the student after he has done it. Every student must see his tutor regularly and tell him everything about his studies. They discuss the student’s work, papers and essays as well as different scientific and social problems.
