Top 5 "your" university

thomaskurian89

It's stupid to have both Cambridge and Oxford on your list when you can apply only to one of them

But this thread isn't about reality, it's about the 5 Universitys you'd most like to go to.
So no reason why both Oxford and Cambridge shouldn't be in there.

Forgetting rankings, costs etc, and just going on the universities I would want to go to the most:

1. HYP (Just for the prestige)
2. MIT or Caltech
3. Cambridge or Oxford
4. UCL
5. Sydney or ANU

As you can see I'm pretty indecisive. I have an American / Australian bias because I've been to those places and would love an excuse to go there for three or four years. Didn't mention my own university because, well, I'm going there :p:

this thread is abit pointless, because, noone here cares what university we all think is the best.

Invariably you are bound to put the one you go to, rendering this thread pointless.

I'm switching on arrival to Mathematics with Theoretical Physics which is 75% maths. The Physics part of the course isn't my main interest, maths is, and in hindsight I probably should of applied to LSE to do a maths and business kind of degree (mostly maths).

Oh okay fair enough. Although, from the sounds of it, you are more interested in maths and since LSE doesn't have a proper maths department, it attracts fewer of the mathmos. Anyway, this is going off topic!
