Social or intellectual stimulation is not confined to the College. The city of Oxford itself offers ample opportunity for experiencing one of the world's great university towns. Streets, rich in literary and historical significance, meander among the University's thirty-five colleges. During any summer week there are concerts in college chapels and plays produced in college quadrangles and gardens. Coffee shops and ancient pubs compete to offer relaxed refreshment in pleasant settings.
Bookstores invite browsers.
Beautiful churches, including the great Christ Church Cathedral , welcome both visitors and worshipers. There are dozens of outstanding gardens to visit, and the University Parks provide a location for recreation that is very convenient to the College. All Seminar students reside in Trinity College , many of them dwelling in a quadrangle originally designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the seventeenth century. The College's spacious gardens, among the finest in Oxford, provide a setting for conversation, reading or contemplation. Meals are served in the College's dining hall, constructed in 1618.
