Oxford
1. Keble - Good location (5 min walk to centre, very close to university parks & North Ox), good college atmosphere, very proactive crowd
2. Wadham - chilled out, fit girls, legendary bops
3. St Johns - huge (takes up half the city), cheap, high standards
4. St Peter's (I go here) - everything's at your doorstep, laid back
5. Hertford - Located in nice area (near RadCam, Kings Arms, close to High St), high standards, good bar, nice atmosphere

1. Clare - Stupidly pretty/friendly/nicest accomodation of any oxbridge college I've seen/nice and busy bar
2. Pembroke - Could you get any closer to new museums? Seemingly nice people. Again, awesome cool accomodation (the white building)
3. Emma - Just seems like a lovely, perdy place. With added quack.
4. Kings - Overwhelming architecture. Reminds me how nice it is to be in Cambridge. To walk past such a big **** off chapel every morning.
5. Newnham - a giant corridor, and word is a naked man was running down it the other day? :|

This was more like "struggle to name 5 colleges you are familiar with"

Nah, King's is big but all dirty and full of tourists :p:

My personal faves at Cam:

1) Clare. Obviously.
2) Queens'. I know nice people there, it's in a good place and is very underrated in terms of prettiness
3) Tit Hall. Clearly our poor neighbour but seems generally cool. Just not when it comes to rowing!
4) Jesus. It's pretty, I have friends there and I like their formal!
5) Fitz. Ugly as hell, but seems to have a fun-ish rep.

Bleh, there's only one Ox college I know about and like and that's Wadham (my 'rents went there and I kind of know a couple of the dons, well one has retired now and another died but hey).

So onto Cam:
1. Clare - duh.
2. Kings
3. Emma
4. Darwin
5. Queens'
