I send my mother a postcard of Oxford and she was surprised of how big Oxford University is. But I have to explain something.
Oxford University is a federation of more than 40 self-governing colleges. So it is merely a collective noun (verzamelnaam) for all the different colleges there.
These colleges function as independent universities so there is quite a competition between them. They can even differ in entry requirements (toelatingseisen) and tuition (schoolgeld).

Alle these colleges combined, Oxford University has about 16.000 students (from 130 different countries).
