The university's role is mainly out on behalf of the College, the school arranged lectures (lecture) and Seminar (Seminar), and has presented a diploma work. On the substantive point of view, the relationship between students and their respective colleges, far more than the university. School name sounds strange, in fact, a lot of college is named after accidental causes. For example, Christ Church College, Oxford because the oldest cathedral in the School of; Souls College to commemorate the souls of the war dead of the Hundred Years War; Oriel College is because it just created, bought a college "Aurel" (meaning oriole) the name of the house. There is also a college called "Blas Reynolds," The word is from the English word "copper nose" of evolution, because bronze doors on the college door is like a nose ring, but still available in the college restaurant.

Janitors have this dual responsibility, so they have a very special call, called "reconnaissance." Oxford, teaching is the most important feature "mentoring." Student mentor by the researchers as they learn more for goods superb scholar, in certain areas renowned for their contribution. Mentoring requires students to meet once a week with a tutor, will research and write their own papers a week to tutor read. In addition, there are many lectures. Each seminar instructors or students either, whether senior or junior, you can speak freely and equal discussion. Brighter talk is very attractive, but after talking to homework. Meet individually with the instructor, took a week to research and write papers, the mentor to comment, to ask questions, if not the quality of the paper, the respondent not to affect the results, the impact of graduation. Notice, once a week, shall not be delayed, but week after week, how can there be so many new ideas, new ideas yet? However, the instructor did not believe an explanation. This learning method does drive, inspire students to think independently, to encourage, to urge students to make progress, but the pressure once a week anyway so that young students not so easily.
