Hi
I'm currently in year 11 but have already started deciding what to study at uni. I'm stuck between ppe at oxford and economics at cambridge. Here are the pros and cons of both for me
pros of cambridge:
i want to end up with a career in hedge funds and economics is more associated with this than ppe
From what I've heard Cambridge has a peaceful and green environment. I NEEEED this
Cons of cambridge:
economics at cambridge is not incredibly prestigious (I know this seems ridiculous to say but my parents really want me in the more prestigious of the two)
i miss out on politics and philosophy which I love very much (though dont want to have a career in)
Pros of oxford:
ppe is a very prestigious course (again, I know, seems ridiculous)
i love politics and philosophy (and economics, obviously)
Cons of oxford:
I don't like the idea of a bustling city
my chances of getting into a hedge fund will be lowered
So which should I choose? Thanks for all your help
btw, my heart isn't set on going to oxbridge, this is more for the course than the uni (though it is to do with uni)
