Hi there
I think several colleges can meet your criteria, so here's some information that can help you narrow down your choices:
You say that you want a college on the bailey but also one that's close to the law school. Hill colleges would technically be closer to the law school but St Johns is not too far either, with just a 15 minute walk away. The main university library is called Bill Bryson (or Billy B) and operated 24/7 during term-time. All colleges also have their own libraries and just like St Johns, most of the others are also open 24/7. More details on each college's library is here:
College LibrariesBased on your preferences, these hill colleges might be worth looking into:
