Balliol’s outstanding reputation for history teaching and research, although not quite so old, is longstanding. The College’s distinguished tradition in chemistry goes back more than 150 years: at that time it even had its own laboratory, opened in 1853 .
26 de jul. de 2017 · I wouldn't say Pembroke has a reputation for being particularly political, and it's also not great state school ratio-wise in comparison to Wadham or Balliol-it's only about 54% state school, I believe (tho happy to be corrected on that), whereas in my year at Balliol it's 70-30.

The JCR Committee administers a substantial budget, liaises with the College about students’ needs and interests, and has a voice on key College committees.
