Oxford Local Customs: 48 reviews and 44 photos
As you walk past the colleges its almost natural that you would look for the name of the college outside, but in Oxford it is only a coat of arms that identifies which college it is.
The wooden doors are very heavy and are often inset with a porters door. The main door is kept locked and it is the smaller door by which the students gain access it can be closed easily if there happens to be trouble.
