Pretty sure law firms and banks target London and Oxbridge before Warwick Nottingham and Durham.

I'm not some half-assed 17 year old who was born yesterday and downloaded league tables from the internet and ranked my favourite university from such a limited resource. I was around when the Russell Group first formed, and when Exeter was seen as a top 35 university in some quarters.
feel really bad now, I went to Southampton Solent

Unnecessary aggression right there.
Regardless of league tables it's without question that that the top three London unis are better than Exeter.
"It's always Durham etc etc"
It's always London and Oxbridge therefore meaning your first statement was somewhat.. Flawed?

It is all about brand. The top 10 will always be the top 10, but no place for Exeter.

I'm glad we agree. I wasn't supporting Exeter is any sense I was mainly stating that banks and law firms target London and Oxbridge over Durham, Nottingham and wherever else you mentioned.

Nottingham hasn't been in the UK top 10 rankings since 2002, but the brand remains a top 10ish UK university regardless. Though feel bad leaving Bath and St Andrews outside the top 10.

You're just contradicting yourself now.. Read what you said earlier about who law firms and banks target.

This is you're quote "look at where the investment banks and law firms target, it's always Durham, Warwick and Nottingham".
This isn't the case, they target London and Oxbridge before any of those.

Where the plague did I say Notts, Durham, Warwick are more targeted than Oxbridge?

It's ALWAYS, hence giving no other alternatives. This gives off the impression that you feel those unis are targeted above London and Oxbridge.
Btw they don't always target those unis.

More than half of all top barristers were Oxbridge educated, including judges. Durham graduates have to settle for being a top solicitor.

For others? Certainly not.
You? I honestly don't believe anything of what you've said. You've contradicted yourself so many times in a single thread (even claiming to be studying two different subjects on some occasions) so... well... you get the notion.
But whatever... I don't have the time for this. Continue with your university-rankings obsession pretending to be a person you're not.

It is with great regret that I have to share some rather disappointing news on TSR. In my long career I have managed to avoid stalking on forums, but after so very long the law of averages gets caught up, and one must confront the reality of the inevitable. With the stalking from so and so in patches, I have to say that I have a wife and 3 kids, and I really don't need this s**t. And ho ho, don't think the above culprits are going to get off lightly with any further such stalking, as the relevant TSR authorities are kept in the loop, and action taken further down the line where appropriate.
In all my academic career, I have to ask now what the last 20 years were for, if the academic community stoops this low to cheat. I suggest these people should turn themselves in and go on a voluntary 4 hour ethics class, or do it the hard way and be told that they aren't going to be welcome on TSR anymore.

Wtf is this thread, needs to be deleted at thia point. Holliywoodnhogan is correct for the most part the recent argument is moreso in favour of the guy arguing in favour of Exeter. Also someone wrote a perfect list but cba Ti go back and see, top six are as usual the Bristol Durham and the two others i cant remember.

St Andrews = Aston Villa
