OK, I've decided, since the Oxford monopoly is a bit crap in my opinion to make my own Oxford University monopoly. Yes - you too can charge huge rents for living in St Johns :) I've decided on colleges for streets (duh), and libraries for stations. Here is my first suggestion for layout - what do you reckon?

I think you misspelled Bodleieaiean

The Bodleian Library is spelled with many vowels (Bodley − y + ian).

Also:

• St Peter’s (apostrophe—and similarly for the other saints’ colleges)


• St Edmund Hall (no ’s)


• Brasenose


• Keble


• [The] Queens’ [College] (not ’s)


• Balliol


• Magdalen

While we’re being pedantic about spelling, the OUP house style uses St (without a full stop) for Saint, reserving St. for ‘Street’.

Ooh! Oooh!

[The] Queens’ [College] (not ’s)
Actually it is The Queen's College - it's a specific queen in question. Matilda or somesuch. Nope, I've forgotten. Cambridge has to make do with more than one queen rather than solitary splendour...

Congrats on the board work, anyway!

Oh well, I had to get one of them wrong, and it figures it would be Queen’s afte I’d started making a fuss about apostrophes... :-)
