In making an application you can choose whether or not to state a college preference (not all applicants have a preference, and you can make an ‘Open Application’). Whilst the University ensures that any stated preference is taken into account, some candidates might find themselves reallocated to a different college during the selection process as part of its aim to ensure that it selects the right students irrespective of their choice of college. Whilst each college prides itself on its own unique heritage and ‘flavour’, and current students tend to promote the merits of their own college, we believe that such reallocation is in the interest of applicants, and that each college offers an excellent, if different, environment for a student’s studies and social life.
