Network Reliability and Speed
Three weeks before Fall exams, the internet was intermittent for about four days straight, and nothing seemed to fix it. IT was horribly unhelpful and unfriendly. Students found themselves forced off campus to do work. This is a running theme at New College. The network has frequent outages, usually limited to the dorm wireless, but sometimes including the wired connections. The Pei dorms have terrible wireless connectivity, although this is usually remedied by buying a really long ethernet cord.

Peer Pressure
While drugs are quite prevalent at New College, I know a huge number of people who don't participate in that scene, are completely comfortable with that, and have numerous friends who are into drugs. Drugs are considered more of a personal experience, and less of a social obligation. New College can be incredibly fun sober, and while there will always be someone to judge anyone, most students are very open to all levels of abstinence.

Parking Lots Very Convenient
Compared to most schools, New College has fabulous parking. It's close to the dorms, not too expensive, and there are cheaper options slightly farther away (but still quite close!).
