Where is my Oxford Year filmed? All the locations in Corey Mylchreest and Sofia Carson's Netflix movie
My Oxford Year has officially arrived on Netflix, starring Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest. The film, based on Julia Whelan's book of the same title, sees ambitious American student Anna (Carson) jet off to the UK for a year at Oxford University. Here, she meets Jamie (Mylchreest), a charming British professor, and the encounter changes both their lives. The university acts as the main backdrop for the story, but is it actually filmed in Oxford? Here's everything you need to know. Viewers will be happy to hear that My Oxford Year was actually filmed in Oxford. Some of the university scenes actually took place at Oxford University, specifically at Magdalen College, which is one of the constituent colleges that make up the university. The official name of the college is: The President and Scholars of the College of St. Mary Magdalen in the University of Oxford. Other locations included St Hugh's College and Hertford College, which are both based in Oxford, while additional scenes were filmed in Windsor. "It was an honour and joy to dive into Anna's world of dreams, of love, of poetry. To study the great poets that walked the halls of Oxford, and who have since filled our lives with the magic of literature. In 1833, Alfred Tennyson wrote, 'It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.' Two hundred years after Tennyson so beautifully uttered those words, they ring truer than ever - in the halls of Oxford, and within the heart of our film,' Carson said. "I have a friend that studied for uni in Oxford, and so there was a period of my life where I was going up and getting the train to Oxford quite frequently,' Mylchreest said. My Oxford Year is available to stream on Netflix.

Hamilton Accies may fly 16-year-old starlet over from Northern Ireland for Montrose opener amid squad struggles
A transfer embargo has hit Hamilton hard and boss John Rankin admits he is in a quadary with Accies U17s going well at the SuperCupNI Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin admits the club may have to fly 16-year-old midfielder Josh Carson back from Northern Ireland in time to face Montrose in Saturday's League One opener because their squad is so stretched. Having been hit with a transfer embargo last week, Accies are unable to strengthen their squad unless they bring in under-19 players or amateurs and that has left them with just 19 players to choose from. However, midfielder Barry Maguire and Kyle MacDonald are set to miss the clash through injury and Rankin is considering flying academy talent Carson back to Scotland for Saturday's clash at Broadwood. Carson - who made his Accies debut in last week's Premier Sports Cup defeat to Dumbarton - is currently overseas with Accies' under-17 in the SuperCupNI, and the team features in the semi-finals tonight against Southampton. Victory there could see Accies face Manchester United tomorrow in the final and that has left Rankin in a quandary. He told Lanarkshire Live Sport: "Right now, Josh is playing for the under-17s in the Super Cup over in Northern Ireland and the boys are in the semi-final tonight. "For me, I need to wait and see how the boys get on before maybe having to fly him back on Friday night or Saturday morning for the game at the weekend. "But, at the same time, these experiences may stand him in good stead later on in the season or his career. "We need him to experience as much high quality football as he can. The boys could play Man Utd in the final tomorrow if they get through, so I need to consider what is best for him. "That's the situation we find ourselves in just now when we are relying on our young players. "But our senior pros also need to stand up and shoulder the responsibility to let the young kids go and learn for their careers." Carson played alongside fellow 16-year-old debutant Aaron Eadie against Dumbarton and Rankin revealed he waited until the last possible moment to tell them the news. He added: "Over the course of my coaching career, I have never sat young players down and built it up for them. "For instance, at the weekend there we knew Josh Carson was going to play, but if we'd told him on the Friday, he probably wouldn't have slept. "We never told him until Saturday that he was going to play. "We did the same thing when Ryan One was here. Sometimes if you give kids too much time to think about it, they spend too much time worrying about the opportunity and lose focus on what is in front of them. "So the most important thing is to let them go and enjoy their football. "We are talking about Josh and Aaron Eadie as two 16-year-olds and there are not many players their age ready to go and play men's first team football. "But what this does for them is give them an idea of where they are and what they need to improve on."

Dallas Cowboys Nailed With Another Injury Hit
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After receiving unfortunate news on the injury front on Monday, the Dallas Cowboys suffered another loss this week, adding their cornerback Caelen Carson to the injury report. Over the weekend, Carson went down with a suspected knee injury. On Tuesday, the Cowboys' medical team reached a diagnosis, and while the results aren't season-ending, they aren't promising either. Carson is believed to be dealing with a hyperextended knee. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, he is looking at a four-to-six-week timeline for recovery. Last season, the Cowboys picked up Carson in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. After his four-year run at Wake Forest, Carson became the 174th pick in the draft. He left the NCAA with 36 games played. During that time, he totaled 119 tackles, two forced fumbles, and three interceptions. As a rookie, Carson appeared in just six games for the Cowboys. He started all but one of those matchups. Over that stretch, the rookie picked up 27 tackles and four pass deflections. Caelen Carson #21 of the Dallas Cowboys lines up before the snap during an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium on November 10, 2024 in Arlington, Texas Caelen Carson #21 of the Dallas Cowboys lines up before the snap during an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium on November 10, 2024 in Arlington, TexasWith the Cowboys dealing with depth issues in their defensive secondary this summer, Carson has a big opportunity in front of him to potentially win over plenty of snaps to begin the 2025 NFL season. Unfortunately, he'll find himself on the injury report for the time being. The Cowboys are already without Trevon Diggs, Josh Butler, and Shavon Revel. Carson joins the club. Beyond the group of defensive backs, the Cowboys dealt with some setbacks in the trenches this week. On Monday morning, the team confirmed that Rob Jones broke a bone in his neck. The veteran offensive lineman was recently added to the team on a one-year deal. The initial timeline for Jones is expected to be between two and three months. That's a big hit for Dallas, which had high hopes for the veteran after picking him up in the free agency market. During Monday's practice session, the Cowboys watched another lineman go down. The veteran Tyler Guyton was feared to have a potential ACL tear just hours after he was forced off the practice field. The Cowboys received a positive update after an MRI revealed that his ACL was intact. Instead of scheduling ACL surgery, Guyton will deal with a four-to-six recovery period after being diagnosed with a bone fracture. While it's been a tough offseason so far on the injury front, some of the injured Cowboys have time to recover before making it to Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
