University of Oxford fails to be a university.
University of Oxford . It is one of the world 's most prestigious universities . All the colleges are self-governing institutions within the university , each controlling its own membership and with its own internal structure and activities . Being a city university , it does not have a main campus ; instead , its buildings and facilities are scattered throughout the city centre . The university operates the world 's oldest university museum , as well as the largest university press in the world and the largest academic library system in Britain .
