“Hello all, It's almost a rite of passage for many young Australians to spend a several months or longer in England, amongst other places, after leaving school. I guess it's considered to be a pilgrimage of sorts. Is there anyone who's done this, who may”

Oxford has a lot going for it – obviously some beautiful universities, and a hub for students of all ages. A day trip is definitely worth it…longer if possible. The crepes from the cart at the center of town are AMAZING…you’ll notice a line forming around noon- it is worth the wait.

I had many aussie friends who LOVED London -lots to see and great people from my experience. (We saw “Wicked” and rode the London Eye, as well as visited Buckingham Palace and Parliament. Everyone was friendly – bought us drinks – wherever we went!)

Enjoy!

Hello,

Thanks for the info about Oxford. I wouldn’t have normally thought about going there! If I go, I’ll be sure to try the crepes!

London does sound good. I’d like to ride the London Eye.

Thanks again!
