<p>Like i said before, most colleges if not all (i'm more familiar with cambridge than oxford) would offer PPE. But whether the quality of education for PPE at each college is the same would be debatable since you won't get taught by the same people. </p>
<p>It is difficult. But you wouldn't know unless you try. As for whether it'd be easier to get into another course, you could check out the admission statistics for individual subjects (again, i'm not sure if oxford posts these, but cambridge does).</p>
<p>Baadassmonkey, you really should read Oxford and Cambridge web sites. Both of them have exhausting information about all aspects of education, courses, college system, costs, etc. Including which colleges take students for which courses. Most colleges allow all courses, but there are exceptions. I knew nothing, but after spending several hours perusing both sites, I have a pretty good idea of what it is all about. Cambridge has taped Open days sessions that you can watch - very useful. Make sure you read course content for PPE at Oxford and see if this is what interests you. The entire curriculum is presented, and while some courses are fixed, you do have a choice with others.</p>
<p>^I've looked at the sites for both Cambridge and Oxford. Oxford's PPE attracts me because it prepares you in so many fields (law, business, etc... name it) and all the curriculum except maybe politics really looks fascinating. I just need to find out how I need to present myself and prepare to have a chance of getting in.</p>
<p>no... students of different colleges go to the same department for the same lectures. Colleges are in charge of their lives and, most importantly, tutorial. Thus I don't see any problem apply for some less prestigeous colleges if you want to have a better chance.</p>
<p>^ no doubt this is true to some extent, becoz colleges can vary greatly in terms of repute and finances hence the better ones have a disproportionate number of strong applicants....that said, the importance of college choice in admissions has been reduced due to the introduction of the pool, ensuring that outstanding applicants rejected can still secure a place at the other colleges</p>
