St. Catherine's College, at Oxford

Here are a few pictures of the college I was staying in at Oxford. It was built in the 60's, and wasn't quite as cool as some places, but it was still nice.



The main quad.


My room.



The joke was that St. Catherine's wasn't even on the Oxford map. Then we looked at the tourist maps and sure enough, it was true :(



This is the Oxford grazing common. Each student is entitled to graze one animal on the field while enrolled. Few take advantage of this perk, but I really thought about going and buying a chicken at the start of the week.


This is the high table in the dining halls. I don't know if it's because we were teachers, but we got to sit here most meals. The meal service is like a fine restaurant.
