Fourth College: Churchill College

I know what you are thinking "Oh no, another of these tours around Hogwarts with pictures of chapels and lawns that one cannot step on...". Not this time my friend! I introduce:


Churchill College!
Founded in 1958 this College is a little different from what you have seen so far. For starters it is located in the outer part of town and is therefore not surrounded by high walls. 


As you can see the style of the buildings is completely different from what I posted so far. The inside as well:


It is not the only modern college though. As a matter of fact 15 of the colleges were built in the "modern" period from 1800 to 1977. The gardens are very nice and you can actually run around the fields, which is a big plus.


As you walk up the main stairs you find this guy looking down on you:


Sir Winston Churchill does not seem to approve your way of walking up the steps. From what I found out about this man he is quite an amazing fellow. Apart from being one of the most influential prime ministers of the United Kingdom he actually obtained the Nobel Prize in literature in 1953! Hats off!
