I am working in the academia, and am taking the phd to proceed forward with this track... Other interests would include consulting as well
All of them are underrated.

All of them are overrated.

It depends who you ask and frankly how they are "rated" by people who, by and large, have no idea is less than irrelevant to me.

Not really, stating they are overrated does not implicitly mean they are bad - just not as good as they are widely supposed to be by the "average person" not that such a thing exists.
Overrated = KCL
Underrated = CASS

So true, unless you've been to both uni's then you can say. Plus every uni has their strengths.

Haha I agree totally - it's amusing to see people post top universities as "overrated" and bottom universities as "underrated".
