Trinity college or Christ's college for architecture

I intend to apply to study architecture at Cambridge. However, i am oscillating between these two colleges. I really like the DoS at Trinity, however I like the 'feel' and demographics at Christ's a bit more. They are both very beautiful, and central. I don't want to hinder my chances of getting a place purely due to the choice of college (I have heard that Trinity is notoriously difficult to get into). Any advice? (grades will not be a problem, and I am doing 4 A levels for context)

Trinity is known for being difficult to get into for maths, for architecture I don't think there's much difference between the colleges (it's very competitive across the board). I wouldn't overly worry about college choice, also as I understand architecture is very department centric due to that being the base for your studio work so just pick one that you like the "feel" of well enough.

Also it's probably not a good idea to pick a college based on who the DoS is now - as they may well have moved to another role potentially at another university entirely by the time you start (or before the end of your degree)!
