There's currently a poll ongoing about which is more famous: Oxford or Cambridge. Thought this may be of interest.

When I lived in the States, I didn't pay much attention to unis as I was too young. However, even I knew Oxford was among the very best. Oh, and there was something about a place called Cambridge ... :biggrin:

My Oklahoma relatives had no idea what Oxford was. They know of Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc but everything else is foreign, even Oxbridge. I told them I had an interview and they were like "Cool! That's good! Is that a university?" xD can't beat Oklahoma for blissful country-living ignorance
