The City of Oxford
The university colleges at Oxford are her main draw, especially Christchurch College - birthplace of Alice in Wonderland and the setting of 'Hogwarts Hall' in the Harry Potter movies. The various colleges, with their dreamy spires, together with the buildings of the town, combine to offer some of Englands finest architecture.Oxford is also home to many excellent museums and galleries, such as the brilliant Ashmolean Museum and the Museum of Oxford, while the theatre also features highly. As well as ballet and drama, there is also an abundance of traditional pubs, modern bars and pumping nightclubs in the town; surely on the minds of most students.
Student Loans
Oxford University is allowed to charge new full-time students up to £3,000 a year for tuition fees from September 2006. Many students will apply for a student loan to cover their tuition fees and day to day living costs. Student loans are the best option for borrowing money for college as interest rates are traditionally low and repayments don't start until graduated students are in work and are earning over £15,000.
