Keble College

Keble College

(5 reviews)

Keble College is really pretty. It's hard to see inside, but it's well worth a visit and it's…read morereally not far from town, yet it seems to get far fewer tourists than lots of the central colleges. It's got its own style and seems a bit more colourful and warm than some of the more stoney buildings elsewhere. It's a relatively modern college, built in 1870. The main quad you'll come across is the Lidden Quad. Don't walk on the grass or a college warden might show his grumpy side! The chapel is the main highlight of the college, hosting the famous painting The Light of the World by Holman Hunt, but it's nice just to wander round. The Hayward and De Breyne buildings lurking at the back are some nasty looking 1960s buildings that contrast with the lovely brickwork of the rest of the college, a bit like Wolfson and Rayne in St Anne's. I'm sure they're much-loved by students, but I'd give them a miss in your tour around.

Hey - did you know that Keble College has a Bed and Breakfast? Me either!! We knew we were going to…read morevisit Oxford but didn't want to stay in a regular old hotel room. So after a little searching online I found that there are a couple of colleges that offer B&B service during the summer, when school is out. Everything is done online so it's super easy. www.oxfordrooms.co.uk We were booked to stay in the new wing which was boring, bland and downright ugly. I wish we could have stayed in one of the old rooms, but we booked at the last minute and all those rooms were taken. The ladies in the Porter's Lodge were super helpful and always willing to answer our questions or give directions. We ate breakfast in the main dining hall which was really a great experience. Sort of Harry Potter-esque, which my teenage daughter throughly enjoyed. The food was fine - your usual English breakfast. Eggs, bangers, beans, broiled tomato, yogurt, fruit, coffee and tea, OJ and various pastries to choose from. On the whole we had a fine experience though I am not sure we'd actually do it again as it was more expensive than a regular hotel, but I am pretty sure they can charge more just because they offer the Oxford College experience, so to speak. It was worth it just to see my daughters face when we told her where we were staying. She loved it.

University of Warwick is located in the midlands, close to Leamington Spa and right outside of…read moreCoventry. Even though it's named Warwick it's actually closer to Coventry than the town of Warwick! I'm impressed with the design and layout of the university. Although it is located quite far away, it is situated in the beautiful English country-side. The building are newer looking (it was only built in the 1960s!) but not horribly concrete eyesores. The student union has some great restaurants, pubs, and student services. The Arts Centre is absolutely lush. There is a movie theatre, pub, and dining services inside, as well as, the art exhibition on display. Truly, it's worth checking out when you have some spare time. As I live in Leamington Spa, I normally catch the bus in the mornings. Buses are frequent and the ride is really easy. Leave early in the morning though (if you have morning classes/work) as the commute into Uni can take up to an hour. Especially if the bus goes through Kenilworth and not on the motorway. I also purchased a monthly pass (through Stagecoach) for about £67, which includes unlimited rides for a month! Not a bad deal, sure beats shelling out petrol on a daily commute!

Overall: An awesome University, but sadly located in Coventry…read more This is the university I fell in love with. I did my Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry B.Sc.(Hons) here. I loved the way it felt - something I didn't feel with the other universities I visited. Although it's not exactly a brand new university, on universities scales it is a pretty young university, built in 1965 with most, if not all the buildings painted white. In the past few years, Warwick University has been in the top-ten highest ranked research institutes within the UK, and is slowly being recognised worldwide. It's a campus university with everything on campus, with three campus sites - main, Gibbet hill and Westwood. There are halls of residences dotted around the campuses and I have to give a five stars for the Jack Martin residences. It was probably more than I could afford, but it was worth it - each room has its own en-suite, but a shared kitchen. In my final year, I had a room in the Tocil residents, I soon moved out - it was a room, based in a flat full of 12 disgusting students, with 2-3 shared bathrooms - ewwwwwww. If you're a little more strapped for cash, try Rootes. The student union has expanded throughout the years and gives numerous facilities for having a good time or simply getting lunch/groceries. The university also has an Arts Centre, 25 m swimming pool, sports halls, gymnasium, squash courts, athletics track, rock indoor-climbing facility, tennis courts and cricket grounds. There's a couple of bad things about this university. Firstly, it's located in the outskirts of Coventry, and to get there from another city without a car, requires train and bus travel. Secondly, it's located in Coventry! It seems all is well when on campus, but as soon as you go out of the campus confines, it's dire!
