A Day Out in Oxford

This week's New York Times travel section suggests a day out in Oxford when the throngs of tourists have receded and the city is back to the business of being one of the world's intellectual centers. (Or, if you will, centres.)

Obviously, a day out in Cambridge is much nicer.

dcat has no official opinion on the matter. I know Oxford much better and have spent lots more time there, but my one Cambridge experience was wonderful and I'd jump at the chance to go back. Incidentally, I was a finalist for a one-year position at Cambridge in 2002 that in retrospect I probably should have gone for (I declined to interview), except that I'd have never ended up at UTPB if I had done so, and would thus have never met my wife. Which would suck.

The way I am choosing to read that is that Cambridge helped you find your wife and life-long happiness, while Oxford has only brought you pain and misery. It certainly confirms my theories...
