UNIT FOUR
Oxford
  There are about ninety Universities in Great Britain, the biggest one is London
University, and the oldest ones Oxford and Cambridge.
   Oxford was founded in the 12th century as an aristocratic University and retains
its aristocratic character to the present day: the cost of studies is comparatively
high. Students have to pay for using libraries and laboratories, as well as for taking
examinations.
   Oxford’s organization is very complicated. In fact, the University is a collection
of 35 Colleges: two for women only, the rest taking both men and women. Each
college is a world of its own which gives its students a specialized training in arts,
law, medicine and science. The largest college has over 500 students; the smallest
college has 100 students.
