Magdalen is one of the most visited colleges in the university. Its large square tower is a famous landmark, and it is from the top of this tower early on May morning that the Magdalen College choir sings. The College stands next to the River Cherwell, with Magdalen College School nearby. Within the grounds is a deer park. Magdalen is regarded by many as the most beautiful of the Oxbridge colleges. Magdalen's new president, Professor David Clary FRS, was earlier Fellow and Senior Tutor at Magdalene College, Cambridge, Magdalen's sister college in the University of Cambridge.
