Oxford and Cambridge universities consist of a number of colleges. Each college is different, but in many ways they are alike. Each college has its name, its coat of arms**. Each college is governed by a Master. Within the college one will normally find a chapel, a dining room, a library, rooms for students, and also rooms for teaching purposes. There are twenty-four colleges for men, five for women and another five which have both men and women members in Oxford. Almost all colleges are mixed now in Cambridge.
There is a great deal of bicycle traffic both in Oxford and Cambridge. The universities have over a hundred societies and clubs, enough for every interest one could imagine.

Sport in Great Britain
The British are a nation of sport lovers. Many kinds of sport originated from Britain. Football, or soccer is one of the most popular games not only in the British Isles but all over the world. It has a great many fans in Britain. The next popular sport after football is rugby, which is largely an amateur game. It is the Welsh national sport.
In summer the English national sport is cricket. English people love it. Cricket is played in schools, colleges and universities and in most towns and villages by teams, which play weekly games. Test matches with the other cricketing counties are held annually. Even if you do not understand the rules, it is attractive to watch the players, dressed in white playing on the beautiful green cricket fields. It is the most English of all sports.
Golf is Scotland's chief contribution to British sport. This is true of golf which is everywhere in the British Isles a middle-class activity.
Walking and swimming are the two most popular sporting activities, being almost equally undertaken by men and women. Boxing and wrestling, snooker (billiards) and darts, cycling and tennis are the next most popular sports. The interest to such sports as horse-racing and dog-racing can be explained by the Englishman's fondness for gambling.
