man why does it matter, just get a good degree, then **** off somewhere. People place too much emphasis on the uni that they want to attend.
Not everyones going to go to Oxford, Cambridge, Kings college, university rankings are irrelevant for anything outside of the top 20. If you get a good degree, thats a 2.1 who really gives a crap? not everyones going to end up in a job that pays 40k+ a year.
