I know it is probably a ‘it depends’ answer but are there any pointers? Any difference between Oxford and Cambridge for example? Any statistics on the percentage that end up in their first choice college?
DS is going to apply to one or the other - we haven’t visited Oxford yet. The particular college set up is a consideration for him - he has ASD. He would much prefer a more modern college, and because of a restricted diet wants reasonable self catering options, rather than a college where you pay upfront for meals. The other thing that he wants is a college which provides accommodation for the whole course.
From what I understand an applicant doesn’t write anything about why they have a chosen a particular college in their application do they? Not that it would be much help if DS wrote he had a chosen a college because of great kitchen facilities!
