[edit] Sister college?
Why does Mansfield not have a sister college?
Although, having seens what's left to sister with, I'm quite happy with it being an only child.
- It seems obvious that Westminster College, Cambridge be the sister college to Mansfield (both being of non-conformist foundation which later became the United Reformed Church), but this remains to be confirmed. What's so wrong with being Dannii to Kylie? – Kaihsu 09:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
No, Mansfield doesn't have a sister college - this has proved unfortunate for past MCR events when Oxbridge exchange dinners have been attempted and the MCR just had to get in touch with random Cambridge colleges. Remember that there are fewer colleges at Cambridge than at Ox. --Treefox 15:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and Westminster isn't actually a Cambridge college... --Treefox 15:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Though from an historical perspective, Homerton College, Cam would make logical sense as a sister college. --Treefox 16:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Could do better
This page reads like it was written by the JCR. "The Kylie Minogue of colleges"? "The college porters are also notable characters"? For god's sake.
Why is there no mention of Champneys's chapel, which is a highly regarded example of late-Victorian Gothic?
Why does the list of alumni include some nonentity that writes for a Nintendo magazine?
Even Heaven's Gate doesn't get a mention, which I would have thought would be trivial enough for this entry.
