Magdalen College, Medieval college in Oxford, England
Magdalen College spans across 100 acres of land, featuring historic buildings, expansive gardens, a deer park, and Addison's riverside path along the River Cherwell.
William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, established Magdalen College in 1458 as part of the University of Oxford, starting with a president and six scholars.
The college choir performs from the Great Tower at dawn every May 1st, continuing a tradition that brings together students, residents, and visitors.
Students at Magdalen College have access to sports facilities, including tennis courts, cricket grounds, football fields, squash courts, and a fully equipped boathouse.
The college maintains its own deer park within the grounds, where a herd of fallow deer grazes among medieval-style gardens and meadows.
