	List of fictional Cambridge colleges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fictional colleges are perennially popular in modern novels, allowing the author much greater license when describing the more intimate activities of a Cambridge college.
		Below is a list of some of the fictional colleges of the University of Cambridge.
		Stephen's College - For the Sake of Elena by Elizabeth George, located between Trinity College and Trinity Hall (this is a physical impossibility in the real world, as the two colleges are separated only by an alleyway which is about five to ten feet wide) and modelled on the latter.

	Oxbridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oxbridge is a portmanteau name for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest in the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world.
		This is the first recorded instances of the word, at least by the Oxford English Dictionary but it did not enter common usage until the middle of the 20th century.
		Social critics in the United Kingdom also sometimes use "Oxbridge" or "Oxbridge Club" as shorthand for the "old boy network" that is said to dominate government, education, and other institutions.

		Oxford (including its colleges) was possibly ranked second in 2005 with estimates ranging from £2.4bn to £2.9bn [5], and the Central European University in Budapest third with an estimated €400 million in 2005).
		One women’s college, Girton, also integrated genders, but the other women’s colleges took the view that until the gender ratio problem was completely solved, they should not reduce the number of women’s places available by admitting men to their colleges.
		Although various colleges are traditionally strong in a particular subject, for example Churchill has a formalized bias towards the sciences and engineering, the colleges all admit students from just about the whole range of subjects, although some colleges do not take students for a handful of subjects such as architecture or history of art.

		Admissions for undergraduates is undertaken by individual colleges, working with each other to ensure that the best students gain a place at the University regardless of whether or not they are accepted by their preferred choice.

		This list does not include movies wherein university buildings appeared as a backdrop but were not depicted as Oxford University, such as the Harry Potter movies and the earlier Young Sherlock Holmes.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: A Room of One's Own Study Guide - Short Summary
		Virginia Woolf, giving a lecture on women and fiction, tells her audience she is not sure if the topic should be what women are like; the fiction women write; the fiction written about women; or a combination of the three.
		Instead, she has come up with "one minor point--a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." She says she will use a fictional narrator whom she calls Mary Beton as her alter ego to relate how her thoughts on the lecture mingled with her daily life.
		She later talks with a friend of hers, Mary Seton, about how men's colleges were funded by kings and independently wealthy men, and how funds were raised with difficulty for the women's college.
