What is the college rowing standard like? What are the ergs people have? How does the lightweight programme at uni level work and what are the rough erg standards for that? What kind of ergs do uni level openweights have? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

College rowing ranges from complete beginner to experienced rower. You'd be best served to ask about the specific college(s) that you're interested in.

Apparently at Oxford Oriel is pretty strong and Magdalene is a bit weaker atm. Any information on either of those for the sake of comparison?

College rowing is decent and can be good from beginners to top athletes. If you are a top athlete, i would suggest that you try for the University-level rowing.

Consider colleges like Queen’s.

I wouldn't judge based on current performance as a lot of it would be based on how good the current cohort is and this can change year on year as people matriculate and graduate.
