One of the most influential universities in history, the '''University of Oxford''' was founded in 1167. Located in the city of [[Oxford]], [[England]], it is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is organised into 39 colleges, each of which has its own buildings, staff and students; the college is the primary focus of teaching at [[undergraduate]] level, although lectures and degree programmes are organised by the University faculty boards. The oldest of these, [[Balliol College]], was established in 1263; the second-oldest, [[Merton College]], was established in 1264 A.D.  Oxford also has a number of "Permanent Private Halls," which are run by churches or [[religion|religious]] orders; the oldest of these is [[Blackfriars Hall]], founded in 1221.
