Ravenclaw is good. But I've chosen Griffindor.

go for it.. even if you get a 2:1 in Potions B.A. at Griffindor they will give you an M.Sc a few years after you graduate!
What was your logic? Ucas or the Sorting Hat..?

I'm not a Caian, only related to one. I don't know, I just know they have lots of medics.

Christ's,
Selwyn,

Be careful about applying there - they might take a dim view on someone who's not totally sure about the correct way to spell their College's name...

Anyway, other people might be able to say something slightly more helpful when it comes to decision making...

They're rumoured to push people very hard - it's supposed to be one of the most academic colleges. Whether that's "too academic" is for you to decide.

girton or homerton?

girton or homerton?

It depends entirely on what you're looking for. Girton has a pool, and Homerton is a larger college. etc, etc, etc. Visit them is what i'd reccomend!

And as regards Christ's being "too academic" and having a reputation for pushing its students, surely academics and trying to harness students' potentials will take place at any Cambridge college. It's Cambridge after all!
