Which is better, Oxford or Cambridge?
When I was a student, I was not a good student, but I was a good student who loved reading. I can't get into a university like Oxford and Cambridge with my education alone, so I can only come here and feel the atmosphere of these two universities after I have the ability. But when you ask me which is better, Oxford or Cambridge, I just want to ask you which is better, Tsinghua or Peking University? Everyone has a different answer, so you won't know until you feel it.

Oxford and Cambridge universities are not in the center of London, but it takes more than an hour to go to Oxford and Cambridge by train. It is rare to wait until the weather clears up, so I visited these two famous schools respectively. Because of Xu Zhimo, I am more interested in Cambridge, but somehow, I went to Oxford first, and maybe there are more online raiders.

You can take the train directly to Oxford at Paddington Railway Station in central London and get off at Oxford Town. I walked casually for fifteen minutes in the lazy sunshine and gradually walked into the Oxford campus. Unlike the school in China, she hangs a sign and is surrounded by a wall. This is a university. If you have to understand it this way, when you get to Oxford, it is the site of Oxford University. Then there are various colleges and buildings scattered in Oxford. Of course, not all of them are open, so we can only choose a few important ones to visit. The most important thing, of course, is the Christian College, which is also a place that no Harry Potter fan can miss. The long table in that movie is in the cathedral of Christian College. The entrance to the college for tourists is magnificent and awe-inspiring. For the fact that there is a church in the university, I was shocked by Sorbonne University before, and even got a church in the school, which is really magnificent. But this is also related to the origin of European universities. For example, Sorbonne University was originally a seminary, and these universities were basically closely related to the royal family at that time, so the existence of the church was also reasonable. Accurately speaking, the church with a long table in the movie didn't shock me, maybe it didn't feel as strong and imposing as in the movie, but the lawn at the door and outside still made me deeply envy. This makes me feel that Oxford is a very suitable place to study. There is a large lawn outside the college. How big is it? I think there are several football fields. At that time, it was not only a treasure house of Christian colleges, but also open to the public, and other colleges could easily bypass it. No matter how many tourists visit, there is always a quiet lawn. Not only that, there is a small river and several boats around. This reminds me of the origin of Oxford. It is said that "Tianjin" means "crossing the river" in Latin, so Oxford led the cattle across the river.

When I was in Oxford, I always thought about the feeling that Cambridge gave me, as if I were walking on the path of Cambridge. Maybe I have never imagined Oxford, so I can only impose the feeling of Cambridge on her. Merton Road next to Christian College is my favorite place. It is covered with goose-soft stones. It's quiet and small, which makes me feel like I've traveled through time and space. Of course, there are many places to go in Oxford, such as the Oxford University Library in the square, the Bridge of Sighs and so on. There is also Alice's route, and her shop is opposite the college. But what attracts me most is the lawn beside the river bank. Ducks pass leisurely, and when you look up, you can see the magnificent Christian College. She stood there like a castle, surrounded by lawns. So the scenes of English country love stories such as Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre were at a loss in my mind. Such a good atmosphere is most suitable for quiet reading.

Oxford University was born because there was only the most famous Sorbonne University in Europe at first, but the French king refused to let English students take classes, so they crossed the river and became a world of their own in that small town called Oxford. Knowing these histories always makes me feel a little sad as a student from Paris. The universities in Paris are all in the center of the city. Even if Sorbonne University is located in the city center, it is only a place to study, and there is basically no area for you to live in. After class, you can enjoy the elegance of the Latin quarter and the prosperity of the city, but you still have to leave and live far away. And I like the openness here, like the lawn provided for students here, and it really feels like Oxford life.

When I visited Oxford, I saw many student groups in China. It is also useful to visit famous schools. If children visit them more, will they study harder? Such a good atmosphere and learning environment seems to be more worth looking forward to. At dusk, I left my good school Oxford!

Let's talk about Cambridge again. I waited in London for several days, and finally it was sunny, so I was able to visit Cambridge University! From downtown king.

You can go directly to Cambridge through the railway station. Unfortunately, the bad weather in London made my schedule very tight. I had to go to the Shakespeare Theatre in central London in the morning and then take the train to Cambridge at noon. So sadly, the heavy complete works bought in Shakespeare's Theatre were brought back to Cambridge University by me. Okay, a little bookish! Cambridge's model is actually very similar to Oxford. Also in a town with different colleges. It's just that Cambridge is a little far from the railway station, and it feels like it takes almost half an hour to walk, which is a bit hard. So there was a Cambridge style. There is always a bicycle that bites Rinrin, and when you get to the college, you lock it on the fence next to it. Many of them are bicycles with small bamboo baskets in front, which are very heavy.

Similarly, Cambridge also has its main college: King's College.

College), the name is very stylish. When I saw his position, I immediately thought of April day on earth. I visited the cathedral of the college first, which is really a king's demeanor. As soon as I entered the main hall, I saw the roof and thought of Westminster Abbey in London.

Notre Dame. The roof pattern that blooms like a lily is white and sacred. In my opinion, using the cathedral as an analogy, Cambridge won completely.

After a short walk from the church, I saw He Kanghe. Nowadays, there is always an endless stream of tourists passing under Cambridge by gondola. I didn't feel the breath of Cambridge much, until the lights were on, and the dim light of Cambridge River gradually revealed the artistic conception. Walking on campus, you can always hear the tinkling bicycle bell, so crisp and cheerful, and you can see that the library is still brightly lit. It seems that Cambridge is the night spirit. The singers on the main road at the entrance of King's College also began to stir, as if Cambridge had been resurrected at that moment.

Of course, in Cambridge, there are other colleges (such as Trinity College) and scenic spots, including publishing houses, Eagle Bar and so on. Just in the thick night, I suddenly feel that no matter how long I stay there, I can only take a boat like a tourist, but I can't really feel the life in Cambridge. Only talented people and beautiful women who study there can hold up a long pole and be willing to be a plant in the gentle waves of Hekang River! In the souvenir shop in the tourist center, you can also find a list with poems by Xu Zhimo printed on it. Finally, I shook a coin with my boat as a souvenir! Surprisingly, when I was walking on campus, I saw the statue of Kong Old Master Q Q. Although the night had fallen, the statue of such a lovely grandfather was easy to recognize. This is another link between Cambridge and China.

Many people ask me, which is better, Oxford or Cambridge? At that time, I thought I didn't know until I saw and compared it. But when I read it all, I still couldn't give an answer. They are all too good schools. If you are a fan of Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland, you will definitely like Oxford better. If you are a fan of Xu Zhimo, it goes without saying that it is Cambridge. And I am Alice who likes Xu Zhimo at the same time! However, there is nothing to compare. Only studying there and absorbing the local culture is the most meaningful thing. As a tourist, you can only feel one or two.
