What is the most formal college at Cambridge?

Hi everyone! I've been researching Cambridge and I'm very interested in the traditions and formality that some colleges seem to have. Could you tell me which of the Cambridge colleges is the most formal? Thanks!

Cambridge University is renowned for its diverse range of colleges, each bringing its unique history and traditions. However, when it comes to formality, Peterhouse certainly stands out. The oldest of the Cambridge colleges, founded in 1284, Peterhouse has a reputation for maintaining its historic traditions more rigorously, enhancing its formal, traditional atmosphere.

For instance, Peterhouse hosts formal hall dining frequently (almost nightly), which some students might find exciting, harking back to an "older" university experience. During these meals, it is customary for students to wear academic robes and for grace to be said in Latin before the meal begins. These traditions might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they certainly provide an authentic Cambridge experience many students seek.

St. John's and Trinity Colleges also have a reputation for their tradition and formality in some aspects. As with all colleges, each has its unique culture, and what suits one student may not hold for another. It would be beneficial to pay a visit, either physically or virtually, and talk to current students to get a real sense of life at different Cambridge colleges.

Please note that while these traditions embed formality in the colleges' atmosphere, each college also boasts more modern facets and a diverse range of students. You may find a perfect blend of tradition and modernity at Cambridge.
