What's so good about oxford and cambridge?

You're pretty much guaranteed a job with an Oxbridge degree (unless it's something like music lol). They are the top tier university.

You're never guarenteed anything. Especially not if you waste your time doing nothing, don't study either and come away with a third. Despite what you think an employer isn't going to fall to their knees and worship you.

Also music degrees are not as easy or worthless as you seem to think. They can be quite respected and, believe it or not, you don't sit around playing three chords on a guitar for three years. If you can't play an instrument to such a high standard you have no right to criticise.

Also, for those doing music (and serious about pursing it as a career) they'd choose somewhere like th Royal College of Music/Royal Academy of music etc. Not Cambridge

Now run along little boy

I thought the long holidays would be great but, by the time I got to mid-September, I start getting bored (and run out of money)

You might be right, no in fact you definitely were right - but your last sentence makes you sound like an arrogant prick. Just my 2 cents

Btw, lots of Oxford and Cambridge graduates go on to do a Masters course at the top conservatoires and then go on to have very successful careers as instrumentalists and even concert soloists

It's quite refreshing to hear somone say that on TSR.

As most UoL students think their name is a real heavyweight abroad (many think it's as well known as Oxbridge). In truth, the only reason why unis like UCL or KCL (the two major multifaculty unis) are better known internationall is down to the London name. It's a capital city, it's always going to carry some recognition regardless of whether the actual uni is known or not. It's not because they are superior to the other eight or so unis after Oxbridge.

I know, I was just teasing.

The point is, I don't know how he can criticise music or language degrees when he probably can't (or ever hope to) play an instrument or speak a language.

They require great talent.

I speak Russian to the standard of a B grade at gcse and i've only been learning it for a year. By next year i'll be fluent.

i think that imperial is better than at least oxford for some of its science courses - but its the whole reputation theing - saying you have a degree from oxbridge - its just seen as the dogs *******s

agreed.
Also nearly all engineering courses at Imperial are likely to carry more weight than an Oxbridge engineering degree (at least that's my opinion).

Lol, I'm not usually like that with people! Others have called him worse.

He's just been a particularly irritating troll. He was really bad yesterday (the "boy" bit was because we think he's a 13 year old with no idea about higher education). I'm suprised you haven't came across him until now.
