I'm so glad you appreciate my college's porters! they always were the best. (In my time, they could tell a regular boyfriend - "Good night, sir," - from a casual - "GOOD NIGHT, SIR!!") There are two opinions about the architecture, though. People have been known to compare the front bit to a prison - or a stud.

the_marquis' wife, na_lon, was at St Hugh's, I believe, and has a nickname for your place given its carcerous appearance - HMLMH.

Ask her if she knows the joke about the five Oxford girls waiting at a bus stop. (Of course it's irrelevant now all the colleges are mixed, but it still stood in my time.)

Ooh, tell me? I've never heard it (St. Hilda's, by the way.)

A young man in a sports car drives up and opens the door. Somerville says, "What are you reading?" LMH says, "What is your family?" St Hugh's says, "What games do you play?" St Hilda's yawns. St Ann's gets in.
Mind you, my sister was St Hugh's, and I don't think she ever played anything but Scrabble.

Er, the front bit of the boyfriend, the porter or the college?
