Merton is better looking than those, just like New, Trinity (ox), St John's (ox) and maybe even worchester (depending on if you get a good angle).


Pics or GTFO :P

Yeah I love worchester
Hasn't someone tacked some fugly concrete lump onto the back of St John's?
My vote goes to Downing.

I have put together some pictures on arguably the 3 most beautiful Oxford and Cambridge colleges. You decide which you think is most stunning. They are all heavenly places, and any student at any of these colleges is rather lucky. I have chosen pictures of the main grounds, the hall, chapels and libraries of the following colleges.

Warning: if you have low bandwidth, click the spoilers at your own peril

Cambridge:

St John's

Trinity

King's

Oxford:

Christ Church

All Souls

The last photo of Trinity is actually Trinity, Oxford...:tongue:

Want to trade my undergraduate place at a lesser known Oxford college for one at St John's, Cambridge or All Souls, Oxford. PM me if interested. I joke, I joke.

But there are 70-odd colleges that make up Oxford and Cambridge. Only 6 to choose :P. And hopefully, since the colleges are of roughly equal size, the votes of those who are supporting their college simply because they go there will cancel each other out.

Surely that won't apply to All Souls, though?:erm:

Oh yeah :tongue: Stranger things have happened. I know of a few tutors at Oxford who use this site...keeping an ever vigilant, watchful eye on their students.
Uhhhh.... Keble College says hai.

Do you really think it's likely that all 100 All Souls fellows and 27 emeritus fellows will have a TSR account, though?:wink:

Are people just not bothering to load kings? Wins it hands down for me - the chapel is immense.

That some people find Keble's architecture repulsive (like a supermarket i think is a common comparison?!) i find staggering. Its definitely up there, although perhaps not quite top 3 for me. edit: as long as the bar was knocked down, the remains burned, and the ashes scattered in the middle of the pacific!

Well, when you put it like that...
I find it outrageous that Churchill, Fitzwilliam and Robinson are not on your list.
