Richest college in Oxford

St John's College is one of the best schools in Oxford University. It's in St Giles, the central street of the city, and was founded by businessman Sir Thomas White in 1555. White's heart is buried in the college chapel, he bought the land to build a Catholic university and chose St John to dedicate it. Before, colleges were also student accommodation so they had chapels, sports courts, rooms, eating rooms and meeting rooms. It's said to be the richest college in Oxford, with an annual budget of 300 million pounds and it's one of the most prestigious schools (currently the 2nd best in Oxford, after Merton).
