Choosing an Oxbridge College
As with choosing a whole university, it’s no small deal to choose the right Oxbridge college. They might be right next door to each other, but they can differ radically and ending up at the wrong one can be as bad as turning up to a funeral dressed as Tinky Winky.
It’s a good idea to attend open days, study the college’s own prospectus and chat about the place with friends and people who’ve been there. Also, of course, read Push’s profiles of the individual colleges.
There’s also little point in applying unless you did brilliantly well at your GCSEs, are predicted top grades for your A Levels/Highers and have a range of interests as broad as a builder’s buttocks.
