Choosing College (Pembroke vs Green Templeton vs Brasenose vs Keble) [#permalink] New post   19 Mar 2024, 05:22
­Hi all! 

I have been admitted to the Oxford MBA program for the 24/25 course, and I am now in the process of selecting a college.

I have been able to narrow it down to Pembroke, GTC, Brasenose, Keble, and maybe Worcester. The key decision factor for those was the possibility of having nice accommodation (flaw for Brasenose I think), mainly self-contained flat options at a good location, which is possible in all besides Worcester. However, I am not sure how to make the final decision. I am attracted to having a diverse cohort, mainly on the science side, to interact with different people besides my MBA cohort (key flaw for me for GTC), including fellows if possible during formals and such. Additionally, to have a nice social life/events, and fairly good proximity to the city center (flaws in Pembroke, and Keble) to enjoy the city itself. 

All opinions are based on the info I have been able to find via secondary research. 

What would you recommend? Are my preconceived ideas accurate?

Bests, 
Alfons

Unfortunately I cannot help here, but my main suggestion here is to try to actually reach out to some students and hear their insights and opinions on the various colleges, or watch some Youtube videos, there are several with virtual tours as well, so you can get an idea of the "vibe" of each college

Housing seems rather nice at Keble. Plus: They do have a nice bar and it´s not that far from Said.

I have opted for Metron based on my discussion with an Alum.
