Oxford: We're a university but we're actually made up of a bunch of separate colleges with different names

Me, an American: Ok, sure

Oxford: So we've got like Queen's College and Exeter College

Me: Right, sounds very British

Oxford: And there's Christ Church and Jesus and Corpus Christi

Me: That scans historically

Oxford: We've also got Balliol and Brasenose

Me: Haha, cute

Oxford: Also there's one called New College

Me: Huh, ok

Oxford: It's one of the oldest

Me: Seems confusing, but you do you

Oxford: And then of course there's University College

Me: ...Now you're just messing with me
