Which one is prettier?

the colleges in Oxford is generally prettier than Cambridge's? Right?

I don't think it's possible to say that Oxford is prettier than Cambridge, or Cambridge prettier than Oxford. Both have some stunning architecture:

But equally, they both have some buildings that might look more at home in Soviet-era Moscow.

(Personally, I'm a big fan of the President's Lodgings at Queens' College, Cambridge.)

Not at all - Trinity, St John's, Emmanuel, Pembroke, Trinity Hall, Clare, Downing, Caius, Christ's.

I'd say Cambridge is nicer looking as it's a more spread out, smaller location and so you can appreciate the architecture more. Lots of greenery, the nice winding river, less urbanisation etc.
