Wroxton College
FDU’s Wroxton College is a fully modernized 17th century Jacobean mansion that was once the home of Lord North, England’s prime minister during the American Revolution. Located in the heart of England, Wroxton’s bucolic campus is just minutes away from Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. Since FDU opened its British campus in 1965, Wroxton has been chosen as the overseas study site for students from more than 250 colleges and universities nationwide. In fact, the conversion of Wroxton Abbey into an FDU campus, made FDU the first American University to own and operate a campus outside of North America, lending the title "The Leader in Global Education".

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
