"It's the ugly modern one on the right."

After we got settled, we headed over to St. Catherines, which is where we'll be taking our classes. We got a little lost and asked for directions, which is when we got the response from this post title. The guy wasn't exaggerating - this building is like the BU Law tower turned on its side. Maybe they figure we're used to ugly buildings, but it really sucks since most of the colleges here are ridiculously old and nice. It was also a pretty decent walk from our house, so I'm not sure if I'll be taking the bus each day or not.



When we got back, Milena had arrived, and we went shopping in downtown Oxford.




















Then we came back to our neighborhood and looked for a place to eat. We really are in a great location, and it didn't take long to find a nice street with a bunch of really good looking restaurants.

Dave and his fiancée joined us for dinner... they had also arrived early in the day, so our group is almost all here. We have our first class on Monday, so not much time to explore our surroundings.
