Oxford University is a research university in Oxford, England. It is considered the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the second-oldest university in the world – there is some evidence that teaching was conducted at Oxford as early as 1096. The university does not have a main campus and the entire city is considered its campus, with colleges, departments, student accommodation, and other facilities located throughout the city. The Science Area, with most science departments, is the closest to a traditional campus. World-famous historic university buildings include the Radcliffe Camera, the Sheldonian Theatre, and the Examination Schools. The controversial new Castle Mill development of five-story student apartments overlooking the historic Port Meadow is now blocking views of the iconic spires in the city center.
