Visited Lincoln College yesterday during the Oxford Open Day. I must say this was one of my favourite colleges! They also opened the college far earlier than other colleges which was great since I had arrived to Oxford at 7am in hopes of getting a headstart. Very friendly students and incredibly helpful :D
