Knox seeks to recreate some of the feeling of an Oxbridge college, and much of the terminology used within the college originated in Oxford or Cambridge (intransigent students are "sent down"; there is a "Master", and "Fellows"). In addition Knox retains many traditional aspects of college life, such as requiring jackets and ties for all dinners and division into Senior and Junior common rooms. However, the responsibility for students' education is borne by the university rather than the college. The selective nature of the college and its strong tutorial system lead nonetheless to Knox enjoying a high success rate for students entering legal, medical and other professional degrees.
