Oh how I loved my year at Oxford and Merton from 2012-2013. A unique place. The medieval library is stunning. Happy I survived drinking the last sip of the chalice in the chapel after 100 people did it before me. Oh how I love my genes. I also enjoyed the 750th anniversary Ball in 2014.

One of the oldest colleges in Oxford, can be visited for only 3£, usually between 10.00 and 17.00 (check their website for details). Three courtyards, a very nice chapel, a nice backyard garden, overall very quiet and tranquil.

Merton College was nearly as magical as the Christ Church. The entrance fee is only 3 pounds. And it"s not crowded. When we visited the college there were only two other couples.
