The city of Oxford in south England, United Kingdom is most known for being the site of Oxford University.
When an academic character speaks of being "in Oxford" or "at Oxford", he or she typically refers to being at the university, and not just the town.
Indiana Jones visited the town a few times during his adventures.
In 1906, Henry Jones, Sr. and Anna brought young Indy to Oxford to meet and hire Helen Seymour, the former tutor of the senior Jones, to be a tutor for the boy.
In 1916, while in England prior to joining the Belgian army, Jones journeyed from London to Oxford to visit Miss Seymour and introduce her to Vicky Prentiss, whose parents also lived in Oxford. Miss Seymour invited the couple to a dinner with Winston Churchill that resulted in a dispute over women's suffrage.
In 1918, Jones returned to England after World War I and headed to Oxford. However, he arrived too late to see Miss Seymour, who had died recently in the flu epidemic. He did pick up a final letter to him from his beloved tutor.
