Every college is a good college! Everyone loves their college and thinks it’s the best. Whichever college you apply to you will be happy. (Advice from someone who graduated in 2019)

Completely agree! Everyone does love their own college, gotta say though Oxford and York are both Collegiate and the attitude in York is that there are distinct differences and opinions on the types of people, quality of rooms, events, parties, controversies that go on at each different college! Knowing it might be similiar at Oxford was the reason for looking at each college individually with Eve

Couldn't agree more, the colleges also have far more similarities than differences. You can't go wrong!

I've always had a soft spot for New College which was founded in 1379 but has a motto - "Manners Maketh Man" - which was written, not in Latin or French, but in English. Fully a century before King Richard III, breaking with tradition, swore his Coronation Oath in the language of Ealdorman Britnoth and Geoffrey Chaucer.

As someone who goes to ChristChurch I'd say everyone who goes there is that I've talked to is very nice. The tutors I've got are friendly and fairly young. There are a lot of private school people here but half of them you wouldn't be able to "tell" unless they told you. It is a beautiful college though! But I am aware we have a reputation if you tell someone from a different college oh I'm from Christchurch they may go ew 😭 but I promise most of us are nice.

Balliol is on Broad Street for anyone interested :)

I would advise potential applicants to take this video with a massive pinch of salt. It's incredibly biased, prejudiced and unbalanced. Whilst I have nothing against LMH, as an Oxford alumni, I'd probably rank it bottom of the mainstream undergraduate colleges that were discussed, whereas the interviewee clearly thought otherwise. Many comments made were generalisations at best!

Jesus College is known as the Welsh college because it does a lot of access and outreach with a Welsh university-based programme known as the Seren Network which is basically a programme that helps welsh students apply to top universities across the UK :)

@ffibnogab7644

There is another factor : unless I'm mistaken, in a previous era, Jesus College had 'closed' (i.e. the applicant pool was restricted to a specific group) entrance scholarships and exhibitions, which were for Welshmen only (it was an all-male college at the time). Hence the age-old notion that Jesus is Welsh. Similar arrangements are found in the histories of many, if not most, colleges in Oxford and Cambridge : New College Oxford and Winchester College (a 'public school') were founded together - the latter feeding pupils to the former. Subsequently, a similar founding arrangement linked Eton and King's, Cambidge - the king being Henry VI.

A fine idea, ​ @University and Everything in Between - and it's certainly not all about noblemen in doublet-and-hose, prancing about Oxbridge .. For example, there's the inspiring - and, arguably more relatable - story of how the industrial revolution led to the 'let's build it here' establishment of institutions such as Manchester University and Imperial College, London. It can, on occasion, be forgotten how these institutions embodied a sense of optimism about the future and were a source of civic pride. This optimism was infectious - as can be seen in the 'we can do that too' foundation of Keble College - a grand edifice built of very modern-looking (for the time) brick. And the audacious demolition and replacement of Balliol's Broad Street frontage. The man who designed that, Alfred Waterhouse, was prolific and, later, contracted to build all of Girton College, Cambridge - Britain's first residential university institution for women. Waterhouse's son - and his son in turn - also added to Girton's buildings. And following that progressive historical thread a very small way indeed, we arrive at the beginnings of Eve Bennett's home-and-hearth, Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

please do all the colleges!

Hi, does anyone have extracurriculars or competitions you recommend doing? I’m thinking about applying for chemistry at oxford :)

@goofyboy2627

2 жыл бұрын

I don't do chemistry myself but general advice for applying to Oxford is learn as much about your subject as you can - the tutors will care much more about how you answer questions in your interviews than extracurriculars you've done or other skills you write about in your personal statement. Since chemistry (I believe) doesn't have an entrance test, there's a high interview rate so your best bet is to focus on preparing for that. Hope this makes sense!

I went to Trinity, it is an amazing place.

I applied to Balliol under the impression it is quite a welcoming place, i'm not sure about it now.

Glance at any college's Alternative Prospectus and you will see the word 'friendly'. By contrast, this film seems to offer certain colleges the amusing Oxford equivalent of a one-star Tripadvisor review, which suggests that some friendlies are friendlier than others and other friendlies are, actually, not friendly at all. So who is right ? I would suggest that modern every-day perceptions of a given college, are informed by : firstly, what comes to us from the past, such as the Welshness of Jesus College. Secondly, the public perception of notable alumni in wider society and, thirdly, if less obviously, how that college might appear in the 'day-to-day' , to tourists and to those 'on business' there. To consider that third factor : colleges are, formally, closed organisations of finite membership. This can lead to a place being discussed in hushed and reverent tones, dismissed as a bastion of something yukky or simply not acknowledged at all - out of sight, out of mind. Every college has its friends, its enemies and those who mis-pronounce its name.
