[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone visited in person?  What is it like?  What is Oxford like?[/quote]

The campus is beautiful. Classic Georgian architecture. Be sure to get out to Western campus (ironically located on the Eastern side of grounds -- it's the former Western College for Women). It's literally one of the most beautiful, prototypical university campuses in the nation. They've filmed movies here because of it (see Clooney's "Ides of March" and Jodie Foster's "Little Man Tate" and the forthcoming "Turtles All the Way Down")

Oxford (called "Uptown") is basically a classic college town. Overrun by students in the school year. Townies resent them. Etc. Frat houses everywhere (Miami is home to like four or five original fraternity chapters -- no sorority houses, just suites on campus due to laws that said unmarried women living together were houses of ill repute).

Not really close to anything. Cincinnati is like 40 minutes away. Dayton nearly an hour.

Great overview. Thanks. Do students find Oxford too small after a while? [/quote]

I appreciate your honesty.

Naw, I never did. That said, a favorite thing to do on weekends was to find a friend with a car and go to either Jungle Jim's or Forest Fair Mall. I think the latter is abandoned now, however. (I was there in the early 1990s).

That's when I was there as well. Traffic on Colerain Avenue heading into Cincinnati was terrible! But mostly we didn't leave town. With something like 16,000 other kids your age, there is plenty to do. In any event, my main hobbies were drinking, chasing girls and falling in love with them occasionally. Intramural sports sometimes. So, I was never bored. I stayed over the summers as well. [/quote][/quote]
