Here's a list of Oxbridge sister colleges:

It isn't entirely done by name though.

inter-college events happen between colleges in the university, but when it gets to oxford v cambridge, they stick to varsity matches rather than an oxford college against a cam college.

I know there was a sponsored walk by St John's students between St John's Oxford and St John's Cambridge to raise money for charity. Don't know about inter-Varsity sports between colleges though.

The Corpus Christi colleges have a sports competition thingy each year, I think, tho I couldn't tell you any more about it than that.

Well, that website says that we're twinned with Oriel and St. Hugh's, but I think that's wrong - I think it's actually Hertford. Our hockey and rugby teams went there on a sports exchange, and I've definitely seen us twinned on other sites.

Apparently Wolfson is the only person to have colleges named after him at both Oxford and Cambridge, apart from Jesus (who, to be fair, gets 3 at Camb, 4 if you count Corpus) and St. John.

Well, that thing says that we're twinned with St Hugh's and Oriel, but I'm sure that elsewhere I've seen that we're twinned with Hertford, and we did a sports exchange thing with them last term. I guess some colleges do, and some don't.

Did you know that Wolfson, whoever he was, is the only person to have colleges named after him at both Oxford and Cambridge apart from Jesus (who, to be fair, has 3 at Camb; 4 if you count Corpus) and St. John.

I think that Clare is twinned with Oriel, but because Hertford didn't have established links with a Cambridge college they may have recently forged links with Clare.

That's cool. The plan was for me to apply to Oriel, Oxford, but now I'm going to Clare, Cambridge. Sisters!

Oh, I seee.

Sorry for the double posting btw - it said the server was too busy when I tried to post, and I didn't realise it had posted it until my second one came up :rolleyes:
We have links with Newnham, but that's a fairly recent thing because we're now the only two original nineteenth cenury women's colleges left.

Queen's...

So Queen's (Ox) is twinned with Pembroke (Cam) and vice-versa.

Fair enough...

Not St. John, though... he doesn't have a college at both Cam and Ox.
