<p>I lived in college at LMH, which has access to the Cherwell and lovely acreage and gardens – a pleasant ten minute walk through the park from city cente. It definitely had a more egalitarian vibe than most. So did St. Catz. Wadham has a progressive vibe. Similar to Brown.</p>
<p>The rankings fluctuate and change from year to year, but this is the general pecking order for academic quality of students. I’ll note that all Oxbridge students generally function at an average level only achieved at HPYSM in America (or even higher).</p>

<p>Some, like Corpus Christi, have a lot of well-connected students, but the academics are a notch below.</p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s hard to beat the New College pub.</p>
