Talk:List of residential colleges
Structuring the list
This list now (as of October 12, 2005) has 33 items, and that's before the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge are fully added. I think it's already getting a bit monolotic and forbidding. Would it be better to break it down somehow? Let's hear proposals here. JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
What probably should guide the choice is some idea of what readers will want from this list. Do they want to find a specific college, or see what colleges are at each university? Will they know to use the Find feature of their browser? Should we rely on the university's page to list its own colleges (I believe Yes)?
Proposal: bullet points alphabetical by University, list of colleges separated by commas.
JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC) That would be:
- Colleges at the University of California, San Diego (United States): Earl Warren College, Eleanor Roosevelt College, John Muir College, Roger Revelle College, Thurgood Marshall College
- Colleges at the University of California, Santa Cruz (United States): College Eight, College Nine, College Ten, Cowell College, Crown College, Kresge College, Merrill College, Oakes College, Porter College, Sixth College, Stevenson College
- Colleges at the University of Virginia (United States): Brown College at Monroe Hill, Hereford College, International Residential College
- Colleges at the University of Oxford (United Kingdom): Queens College, etc.
- Colleges at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom): Queens' College, etc.
- Colleges at Rice University (United States): Brown College, Hanszen College, Jones College, Lovett College, Martel College, Sid Richardson College, Wiess College, Will Rice College
- Colleges at universities in Canada:
Proposal: format as table
Format the list as a table with two or three columns: college name, university name, (maybe country name). JDLH | Talk 17:03, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
