	How could I have missed Balliol, home of Lord Peter Wimsey?

	It didn't accept just Queens for "The Queen's".

	it's not called 'the queen's college' anyway. it really is just queen's.

	Going to Oxford University myself, I can vouch for the fact that "Queen's" should be acceptable for "queen's college" and "LMH" should be acceptable for "Lady Margaret Hall". Also, "St. Edmund's Hall" is known as "Teddy Hall" to everyone and should be accepted as such.

	@xyz: as a current student there, I can confirm it is in fact 'The Queen's College', however I believe it should accept Queen's. I can see why the they didn't want to allow nicknames, but in this case you would never use the 'The' unless also using the 'College', which it sensibly doesn't make you type out 36 times. Also, as pointed out above, Green and Templeton have now been merged for about a year, please rectify this.

	we need to have one of these for Rice University.

	Yes, The Queen's College is in real life called Queen's. I note that the apostrophe is not required so we're obviously not being too punctilious about grammar. If you were to allow what the students call them (or did in my day) you could also include Univ, Catz, Corpus and Hilda's (probably most of the saints without the 'saint') as well as Teddy Hall and LMH.

	@tym - Regent's Park is a PPH and none of them are included. List here looks correct to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleges_of_Oxford_University

	If you are accepting New for New College, I think you need to take Queen's for The Queen's.

	its Queens' not Queen's. it was founded by two queens or something. I don't know, Stephen Fry said.

	No, that's Queens' College, Cambridge.

	I'm offended that you missed Balliol :P, we have Boris Johnson :D

	so many abbreviations missed - i mean, who calls Catz 'St catherines college'?

	Waterice_Man:	Jul 10th, 2011 at 13:18 GMT	2 points
	Acceptance of abbreviations would be helpful - for instance, univ, lmh, st catz, corpus, and all those which have 'st's. People who enter these will clearly know what they're talking about!

	Is there a particular reason why you now have to type in 'College' after each name, which you never had to in the past? I know some of them aren't 'X College' because they're a Hall, but considering the vast majority are and if you know there's a Lady Margaret you're going to know it's Hall, it seems a bit pointless to force you to put in 'College'.
