Top 5 Northen Universities?

1. Durham
(Big gap)
2. Manchester
(Small gap)
3. Lancaster
4. Liverpool
5. Newcastle

Lancaster and Liverpool above York and Leeds?

I assumed that the OP meant north as in true north. I wouldn't class Yorkshire as northern.

I am the OP. York is most definitely in the North!

Doesn't change anything tbh, York and Leeds are both overrated and IMO not too different from Lancaster and Newcastle

Are you sure York is overrated. They once beat Oxford to 2nd place in The Guardian League Table and it is one of the best universities that exist that was founded after 1960.

Tbh, finding it a little hard to take you as credible after saying that York is not in the North...

Why are they overrated? I originally said Lancaster and Liverpool, not Lancaster and Newcastle. I think you'll find that there's a considerable gap, the size of which is debatable, between universities like York and Leeds (and Newcastle too, to some extent) when compared to Lancaster and Liverpool.

I don't consider Yorkshire as the north of England, just how I don't consider Oxfordshire as the south of England.

I know you said Lancaster and Liverpool but I thought that Newcastle was comparable to Leeds and not Liverpool.

You need to stop using league tables, they're just full of crap.

I could make a more credible league table than The Guardian.



Herriot Watt 1st for Chemistry as an example. I have a higher chance of shagging Cheryl Cole than Herriot Watt ever being the best uni for Chemistry.

LOL WTH ?! Is the The Guardian League Table just there to fool working class sixth formers in choosing less reputable universities because one thing for sure is that middle class sixth formers will never fall for that.

It isn't a matter of consideration, frankly. York is in the north of England and any attempt to say otherwise is, in the least offensive way possible, plain wrong.

I would agree, Newcastle is comparable to Leeds.

If you look at anything I've said to you then you'll find no mention or reference to league tables at all. How can I stop using something that I didn't start to use?

Yet you class liverpool as being northern despite it being further south than liverpool?!
