What makes London so good-it has LSE,the 3rd best but most people would want to go to Oxbridge.


You said it yourself. Not everyone is Oxbridge material. Not everyone is LSE material. People go to the uni they feel fits them best, not which is better in the league tables.

London is also a major city, with a lot of business opportunities and possible work there too.

I'm guessing its like media studies..
wow i guess your great at maths... further maths isnt even taught in our school, haha, and i think you school do economics instead of business because its recognized better i guess..


My college does both Business and Economics at A-Level and I will be taking Business,unless I have to take Economics because of timetable because it is a lot more Math related,where as Economics is more to do with Law,Politics and English.

yeah, but business is seemed to be those 'easy' Alevels. and i was looking through Baths uni entry requirements, and they didn't accept Business alevel.. and you seem like 'Cambridge-y' person so i'd think you should do economics..
