Best Oxford colleges for geography?

Hello
Could you please tell me what are the best Oxford colleges for geography?
Also, are there certain colleges better and more focused than the others on environmental science?
Thanks in advance

That's not really how the colleges work, as far as I'm aware.

I've been told on good authority that generally it's best to think of them as glorified halls of residence. Lectures are normally centrally arranged by the department, and you may have supervisions in another college (albeit I think this is less common at Oxford) if a relevant specialist is there rather than in your college.

You should focus on choosing your college on non-academic bases, as the academic aspects are going to be equivalent at all colleges offering the course functionally.
