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?

you shouldn't buy colleges, you should build them

What you should be buying is roads, on which you can build three halls of residence (pubs if you're on Cowley Road/Walton St) and then you can build a College (or club if you're on Cowley Road/Walton St) ... all this selling *buildings*, that's not really in the spirit of monopoly, is it? I've already mentioned the brown streets, the dark blue ones should probably be Banbury Road and Woodstock Road, Broad Street, The High and St Aldates for dark green, Beaumont Street, New Road and New in Hall Street for yellow, red should be science area (Parks Road, Norham Gardens and Keble Road?) ... bordering the University parks for free parking. and so on. Station, Park and Ride, Oxford Tube, Oxford Airport. Ashmolean and Bodleian for the utilities ... jail becomes the college library, just visiting is flirting in the stacks. Oh!the tokens. A punt, a mortarboard, a bowler hat, a bicycle, a duck and a pimms bottle. And the colleges should all be based on the Radcliffe Camera and the halls on Tom Tower. Just a passing thought :)
