What is the reason for reallocation? Just that the college you applied for is full? I've been reallocated to Hatfield from st. Marys and I know nothing about Hatfield:/ (biological sciences)

They make sure each college has a good mix of different subjects; so a college can be full for one subject but have spaces for others.

For a brief run down (through googling and whatnot):

St John's is one of the smallest colleges, it has around ~300 undergrads in total, some postgrads and a population of people who study/work at Crammer Hall. Crammer Hall is an Anglican college which is part of St John's and the university, however (I assume) you will be studying a subject other than theology so you'll be part of John's instead :smile:

- now, because the college is partnered with Crammer Hall it is said (from 'extensive' TSR searching) that there is a kind of Christian ethos about the place, but apparently hardly noticeable.

I don't know what else to say, so from goolging I have found that: John's offers free formals (yay!) and this links in with the fact that it is one of the more traditional colleges (meaning that you do get to dress up for the occasion), it has a college bar and a toastie bar, there appears to be plenty of societies and stuff to do so that's great, and because of the college's size, it 'feels like a small community, so you do end up getting to know everybody there'.

Sort of like a poor man's Chads really.

Hey guys

got allocated John Snow for Anthropology with a Foundation Year, which I thought was a bit shifty, so I emailed them and they said they're reallocate me. No news yet though :/
