I went to Trinity College from an inner-city, state school background and always oddly enjoyed the weird traditions I experienced when studying there. These experiences coupled to the history and the grand buildings always made it feel as though I were studying in a museum which, in turn, really fed my imagination/curiosity to explore what else was out there (in terms of odd rituals/behaviour e.g. announcing exam results on the steps on Senate House). I doubt that was their intention but it was an interesting side effect.
