The Big 'Which Cambridge College?' Thread

Whichever college is home to the superbly fit ginger I always see walking around town.

Joke? Lily Cole - Kings, but I expect she doesn't bother living there.

in no particular order, i find the most pcturesque to be:

St. John's
Trinity
Pembroke
Jesus
Selwyn
Downing

These are the ones that really do take my breath away.

Hmm... I might have to give this some thought - there is at least a small part of me that would like a change from Ox, and I have seen a pretty awesome PhD that appeals...

Didnt you call Athena a traitor

Joke? Lily Cole - Kings, but I expect she doesn't bother living there.

Very tall? Lanky? Curly hair?

Nooo, I like men!

how about christ's? starting there in october but as i was pooled ive never been there.

OK, so our sister college (John's) is just too scary and intimidating, compared to Balliol...

Laundry being done would make me paranoid that it would get messed up somehow

See, you think that for the first week or so, and then you suddenly realise that having someone do your laundry for you negates any other considerations and you chuck it all in. I know some people who handwashed all their underwear for the first couple of weeks because they thought someone washing their underwear was weird - they got over it very quickly!

I'm studying in the EU, and I will apply to Cambridge next year. I have read the official brochures about colleges but I'm still not sure which college should I apply.
My preferences: Trinity, King's, St. John's, Pembroke
I perform quite well in school, won the national physics competition, 12th in maths, and I am selected to the IPhO this year.
Which college would you suggest? I prefer bigger colleges with good academic record,.

you can count us (kings) out then we're quite small and our academic record isn't exactly shining (we have lots of fun though )
