Top 20 Unis

We've had threads like this dozens and dozens of times, they usually end up in arguments, use the search function if you want answers. The general consensus from anyone that knows really anything about it, is that theres Oxford, Cambridge and then the two specialist London universities- LSE and Imperial. The gap between the next 30 or so is really very small and universities as large and diverse as Manchester can't really be compared to a place like St Andrews. You could probably make a strong case for any one of three dozen other universities being worthy of a place in a 'top 10', let alone 20. There isn't any definitive answer, nor should there be. It's literally impossible to say with any accuracy at all that one large, selective, multifaculty university is 'better' on the whole than another, let alone comparing big to small and urban to campus. You just can't do it.

But watch the teenagers try.
