As early as 1096 , teaching had already started in Oxford , England , setting the stage for the establishment of the oldest university in the English -speaking world.

By 1264 , Oxford had grown into a full-fledged university, complete with student housing at the school’s three original halls of residence: University, Balliol and Merton Colleges .

Despite its nearly 1,000-year history, Oxford in many way feels like a product of our time - probably because you can still enroll there.
