No, Oxford is a terrible choice.

What are you looking for people to tell you?

You know very well they're good choices, you've got the best university in the world on your list among several other top-ranking universities.

Oxford is of course the best. Then Imperial is second best. The rest are decent, but I've heard bad things about King's. Also there have been many suicides at Bristol in recent years.

It's worth making it clear that these are things you want to know about. And then you'd be better posting separate threads in the respective sub forums for these unis to talk to current students. "Are these good choices" is a pretty subjective question, you need to be more clear about what you actually want to know.
