[kent-grads] Any university's collegiate system fading?

["Tim Roll-Pickering" <T.C.Roll-Pickering@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oxford is overhauling its admission system which will result in central 
applications and "The university admitted that as a result, colleges will 
lose autonomy and individuality."

I have to admit that in my time at Kent (1998-2002) I did not especially 
feel the college system - other than the location of some accomodation 
(which was not used by all and in any case I understand this has since been 
decoupled) and having to vote in your college for SU elections (though this 
was increasingly abandoned by my last year) I could have gone through my 
entire university career and never once have it matter just which college I 
was in. (Okay there were some other things but not all followed them.)

Was it different in earlier years?

Tim.
