Pinch me, I'm at Oxford


From Vanessa Vander Wilt, a political science major and upcoming senior at Rutgers:

Killing time for breakfast on the third morning in Oxford, a song called "Pinch Me" started playing randomly on my iTunes. This is appropriate for a lot of reasons but mainly because I'm still in disbelief that I am here in Oxford-- a totally great city and incredible university-- with peers who impress me constantly while we enjoy every moment.

The professors we've been spending our classes with are, as I expected, in a league of their own, successfully navigating us through discussions on whether there is a prima facie obligation to obey the law, as well as things like the rule of recognition and judicial independence.

When my fellow students and our professors aren't blowing my mind, we get to explore Oxford which, for the record, I recommend to anyone who ever has the opportunity. It might actually be cooler than Harry Potter's Hogwarts (which was filmed here, at least in part). The colleges are gorgeous and I can't wait to see more of them. Maybe this afternoon.
