Catz best fits the bill if you don't mind modern architecture. Keble/Wadham/St.Hugh'smaybe? Of the old colleges maybe New.

Worcester has the largest college site and is the only college with sports facilities on site :smile:

St Catherine's is the biggest college by number of undergraduate students (including exchange students).

Not true - Wolfson is bigger, and is Magdalen.

St Johns is the biggest (in terms of size I believe)

Apologies for my inaccuracies, I was going more from what I'd heard than any numbers.

Still Worcester is pretty big, and it is the only college with sports facilities on site :biggrin:

Wolfson? That's only for post graduates though.

Keble/ Wadham in terms of undergraduate numbers and proximity to the Sports grounds.

'Good nightlife' doesn't really make a whole lot of sense; most people will head out into town on a night out, and none of the places there are college-specific.

Yes, colleges have bars, and most of them have bops/balls/other evening events sometimes. And yes, some colleges may do all of the above better than others, but once you've made a few friends outside of your college, it's easy enough to go to other colleges' events, and it gives you a good excuse to go and explore new places. I think I went to one or more socials at around half of the other colleges throughout my time, through friends/friends of friends. :smile:
