They're pretty similar - big, rich, prestigious, quite academic, well located, three year accomodation; but also a reputation for arrogance. Depends if that's what floats your boat really.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of British Prime Ministers went to Christ Church. However, Tony Blair went to St John's.

More than Cambridge kerching! I'm at Chch if you want to ask any specific questions but they do share many similarities. Christ Church looks better than Johns. (students and buildings)

Agreed. Christ Church is very attractive, but I would say John's has more of an academic reputation. They're both stinking rich though.
