picking Cambridge law college help

Hi i’m trying to pick a college for cambridge based on high acceptance rate, old architecture and i don’t rlly care about closeness to city centre or size of college.

My choices are Corpus Christi, Pembroke, Magdalene or Sidney Sussex, though I think i’m most set on corpus christi as it’s got a high acceptance rate and looks nice however other recommendations would be nice to mention too!

Can other law Cambridge students recommend which is best and any other factors are best to think about ty!

I would advise against choosing courses based on acceptance rates due to the pooling system. You are no more likely to get into the university as a whole by applying to any particular college.

That being said, I'm at Sidney Sussex (doing Maths) and can definitely recommend it.

i don't know if you're too bothered about finances, but they differ massively between colleges. certain colleges have lower costs for formals (i think caius' formals are £5?? but that may be totally wrong, i just know that it's lower than most colleges) and higher funds for societies upgrades.
