Are Oxbridge the only UK unis that are worth going to?

Been to see both unis, they have a particular zing about them that the others don't.

Oxford's location is better - different issue aside.

LSE is OP with internationals - don't know if this is a bad thing or not.

But all the others just seem like average state comprehensive secondary schools, whereas Oxbridge is exclusive which in my eyes makes it better.

No, they're not. Here are a few also "worth going to": UCL, Imperial, Nottingham, Durham, Manchester, Leeds, Warwick and St Andrews.

That statement in bold is pure, unadulterated BS. The others aren't like average state comprehensives... certainly the ones I've mentioned are all prestigious and highly regarded in their own right.

Are you serious? Even by TSR standards this is remarkably stupid.

I don't agree with UCL.

Even Oxford... I think Cambridge is the only one to go for. But if they don't have your course, Oxford will be fine I guess.
/sarcasm

Aside from Imperial and UCL from those that you mentioned, ask your average person outside of UK this - and they won't even have heard of these unis..



Super serious.



So for courses like med, maths etc. where the course is effectively similar just at a different uni - what would you say.

For med? Any uni

For maths? Oxbridge, Warwick, imperial... Nottingham maybe others

So if in utopia if you had unconditionals from both ox and cam, where would you go.(I am aware btw)

Would you go Cam because offers based on UMS - which is generally harder than gcses+entrance test?

Which course? I'd say Cambridge though
I'd prefer entrance tests tbh

I am in total agreement with you, m'dear. Oxbridge university is the only university that it is worth one's well-earnt cash. None of this rah rah oxford cambridge riff raff one often hearing about on the news. Good heavens, one could get hanged for saying such preposterous things! Certainly, Oxbridge University is the bestest university in the world, but my goodness, most certainly overrated chilché avant-garde entrée poisson noël blah blah sort of thing. Only the university of London metropolitan is the one most worthy of the fabulously prestigiously fabulous award of hell.

Psh. "Oxbridge".

I don't go to either currently/yet, wanted to hear your opinions on it.

OP=Overpowered btw

Everyone knows only Harvard, MIT, or possibly Yale are worth attending. Might as well just do hairdressing at the local college than go to Oxbridge.

This again

What stage of education are you at?
What grades do you have?
Is there a subject you're really passionate about?

And to answer the question... obviously they are not the only ones worth going to. In fact, they only really suit a particular kind of leaner so there are lots of highly intelligent people at other unis.

And? Your degree is good for getting your first job and from then in most professions it's basically just a tick-box exercise (do you have one) and your experience is what gets you the job. So unless you're looking to get your first job in another country or want to get into the top echelons of international research, it really doesn't matter whether the people in X country have heard of your uni. And I don't think the fact that somebody in another country might not have heard of say, Durham, is sound logic for declaring it worthless. I'm sure the 87% of Durham graduates who got a job within 6 months would agree.

(P.S. I didn't go to Durham - just an example.)

It doesn't even matter if some random weirdo doesn't know what your university is, the main point is that employers do, and that's what counts.

If you read the title I said UK - anyway everyone in US knows the only schools worth attending are the holy trinity - Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
