Oxford has colleges. You're a member of a college. Colleges admit you. You must therefore apply to be a member of a college. Your "first choice" college is the one you want to be in if you had a choice.

Ohgod. you fail.

Harsh. Not all of us have family who've gone to university and know about these things.
I'd never heard of places like Warwick or Imperial until i started applying...and neither did i know about oxford or cambridge colleges until a few friends were discussing their visit to the place.

Haha, and I do? I am the first person in my family (including extended family) to go to uni.

Not everyone at Oxford is some hideous inbred who's great grandfather was the don of some obscure college you know...

Don't know where you got those implications from my post, but nice imagination.

I thought St. Catz was the well-recognised home of the hideous inbreds! :P

And, er... Gavin Lowe smells of eldeberries!

Guns at dawn by the Lamb & Flag then?

A Somervillian

Pistols at dawn it is!

In a few weeks ofc...

Whats wrong with elderberries?

Plus, I don't think catz has been about long enough for proper inbreeding and ancestry. Somerville on the other hand....

Good god you irritate me...

lol
I never implied anything about Oxbridge - My point was that coming from a background where parents have (been/been through the process of applying) to University, are more likely to have knowledge on Universities such as Oxbridge...even if they did not go there or did not apply.

I was not implying that all students at Oxbridge, have had parents, grand parents etc etc there.

Third parties' chips on their shoulder about Oxbridge aside, :P

I think the sentiment was that the OP hadn't even bothered to google or *gasp* check the university website (which at my last reading clearly explains the collegiate system in plain english for potential applicants) demonstrates such a remarkably blasé attitude and stultifying level of incompetence in basic research about what the bloody hell you're ostensibly applying for in the first place that the only possible reaction is sheer disbelief!
