Does anyone know which is the largest and which is the smallest college. I'm guessing Bowland or Furness r the latter, Pendle or Lonsdale as the biggest?


be a bit more specific - people wise, accommodation wise, room wise, 1/2/3 year wise...

I would have thought Furness would be one of the bigger colleges this year with the four new blocks having just been built.

I had a booklet through from Lancaster months ago stating the amount of students in each college but I can't seem to find it. From what I remember, Lonsdale and County are the biggest colleges along with Cartmel, Bowland is the smallest, the others are inbetween.

I expect grizedale to be quite small this year, given they have no buildings left. (Well, one)
Bowland has grown a _lot_ in the last couple of years - it did used to be the smallest though.
Pendle is rather small nowadays

It's hard to tell, really. Most colleges have moved around a lot in the last few years, and things still haven't settled.
