Om

Hurtige fakta: Studentermiljøet her centrerer sig om nationssystemet, hvor 14 forskellige studenternationer er vært for alt fra pubber til klubaftener for 36.000 indskrevne studerende. Campus smelter sømløst sammen med den omkringliggende birkeskov, hvilket giver hver bygning udsigt til træer gennem store vinduer.

Højdepunkter: En tredjedel af campus er bygget under jorden, forbundet af et 6 kilometer langt tunnelsystem kendt som "The Tube", der lader studerende bevæge sig mellem forelæsninger uden at gå udenfor på hårde vinterdage. Disse stærkt oplyste korridorer har studiearbejde, læsekroge og endda et lille træningscenter, hvilket får dem til at føles mere som en hemmelig by end en gang.
