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)Reply

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.

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)Reply
