Choosing between Cambridge colleges

Hi!
I am applying to do law at Cambridge this year, and I cannot choose between kings and queens college. Any feedback would be appreciated, specifically for these colleges but interested in others too!

I’m not sure what factors might influence you cos there’s quite a few. I think they’re both good, you’ve got the chapel at kings and the mathematical bridge at queens. Kings is very popular with tourists so if you prefer less people around queens might be the better choice, I think kings also take a smaller cohort than Queens and you might prefer having a larger peer group or smaller one within your college, smaller ones might mean more focus for you during supervisions. In terms of networking and academics, they both have great alumni.

Thanks so much! Do you know what accommodation is like at both of them?

Not sure, they have their mix of old and new, and what you get depends on your budget really. I think Kings definitely have built more buildings in recent times if you want more modern rooms.
