Interesting. I had no idea there were any large buildings in Oxford.
(Then again, the only parts of the city that I've seen are the unending
traffic jams.) Maybe I'll take a visit there...

Isn't there some sort of place in Oxford where people go to learn about
stuff, that's popular? Wasn't there a dude watching apples fall there
at one point?
This should be a somewhat largish building, or group of buildings, no?

Actually there are two. The oldest is the University of Oxford (never
Oxford University) and the other, of more recent foundation, is Oxford
Brookes University... but you knew that ;-)

Um, no. The bloke you're thinking of went to the Other Place aka the
Fenlands Polytechnic.

Yup. The two Universities occupy a substantial portion of the city.
But, seriously, Andy is right in one way. The tallest buildings in the
city are churches and college chapels.

Hmm, interesting. I hadn't thought of that. In the several hours I spent
failing to drive through Oxford, I was left mostly with the impression
of small brick cubes and grid-locked roads.
Then again, somebody driving through Milton Keynes would probably be
left with the impression of green, leafy spaces, endless roundabouts,
and no actual buildings at all...
(There *are* many, many buildings. But they're all hidden away from the
main roads. Or, the other way around, I guess.)

That's what I thought.

Two? Huh?
(what say you wikipedia...)
Oy, I've never heard of Oxford Brookes. And it's "324th in the world
according to the QS World University Rankings"
That's pretty damn good. Architecture and Engineering. How have I not
ever heard of this school?

IIRC, the dude watching apples fall was doing that because an epidemy
was closing the university. So he was at his home and not at school.
