I did my undergraduate there along with my fiance so we felt it was a great place to go back to. Exeter College (our college) has a magnificent chapel based on Saint Chapel (sp?) in Paris. We're very lucky to have the chance to get married there.
Yes, the architecture is spectacular. We had Harry Potter being filmed over the back quad while we were there. It's also Tolkien's college, and the college Philip Pullman was at, and the one on which Jordan College is based. My fiance had Lyra's room in her 3rd year, so no shortage of fantasy history around college!
That is amazing isn't it. I didn't go there but had friends there (different college tho). There is this awesome library somewhere - not the Bodlian but another which I think undergrads aren't even allowed into. I took a peek but wasn't allowed in either. It has the old candle sticks along the ends of pews / cubicles to read the books just like in old times though I don't think they light the candles there any more. I can believe that films shoot there its a real live step back in time. Even the common rooms are like working castle interiors - all the oak and chinz chairs and a real fire burning. I have been in plenty of castles but there you don't need to imagine what it must have been like.
