People who don't know anyone at Hildas often assume that we're all lesbian man-haters, but its is actually a very friendly college, in my experience. There's not too much competitiveness like there can be in scary colleges like St Johns and the atmosphere is good. People tend to apply there for a variety of reasons. Some people from all girls schools feel more comfortable in what they see as a more familiar enviroment. Some girls from Muslim families are only allowed by their parents to apply to an all womens college. And some people just like the atmospere of "hanging out with the girls" that you can get. I felt like Hildas was a lot less cliquey than some of the other colleges.
If you get an interview, that will give you a chance to come and have a look around and there'll be some current students around to show you around and so on that you can chat to which should give you a bit of a feel for the place as it is now (it's now 3 years since I left) but when I was there, it was a great place to be.
