    UCL is top for English? Now, I knew they were very good but I'm suprised they topped Oxford.

    But what has changed in these universities themselves overnight?

    Nothing.

    The biggest surprise here is people still actually read these retarded rankings.

    Ha , I just thought Warwick was meant to be almost good enough to rival Oxford maths...although I could be wrong seeing as I didn't look into it very far after realising it was in the middle of nowhere

    The Complete University Guide Comes releases 2012 League Tables
    http://www.thecompleteuniversityguid...ables/rankings

    The Top 20:

    1. Cambridge
    2. Oxford
    3. Imperial
    4. LSE
    5. Durham
    6. St Andrews
    7. UCL
    8. Warwick
    9. Lancaster
    10. Bath
    11. Bristol
    12. York
    13. Edinburgh
    14. Southampton

    16. KCL
    17. Nottingham
    18. SOAS
    19. Loughborough

    There don't seem to be huge differences from last year, although a few have managed to break into the top 10 that weren't there last year (e.g. Bath).

    Thoughts?

    About right apart from Lancaster?
    What do you mean apart from Lancaster? This is the second year Lancaster has been top ten in that league table. Just because it's not one of the older, big city-based universities doesn't diminish its quality.

    Imperial is pretty much always 3rd in the League Tables after Oxford and Cambridge; it's the Big Daddy of science subjects in the U.K. It'll be that high for pretty much all the subjects it offers, I imagine. Don't worry, though; no one is going to look down on Warwick for maths, even if somewhere like Imperial might be a place higher. It's an incredibly prestigious university and you did very well to get in. If you liked the course and the uni then you made the right decision.
