Your choice of college matters, not for your chances of admission, but for the kind of experience you are likely to have at Oxford. Some colleges are modern, for example St. Catherines. Others are entirely devoted to graduate students, and are likewise modern: Wolfson and Linacre. Others again cater for mature students, notably Mansfield College, and for female students, notably St. Hilda's College. For a comprehensive database on Oxford Colleges, click here
