Is Loughbrough now regarded as prestigous?

thanks man. All I'm trying to do is figure out what makes oxford and Cambridge better than other universities and why employers find degrees from those unis more valuable. I'm trying to figure out which unis I should apply to so I can end up with a good job at the end of it.


You don't need to answer because I'm aware I keep asking you but is UCL good for sciences? I've heard it isn't but the uni itself is prestigious. Thoughts?

UCL is a phenomenal university, whether that helps any better career wise, couldn't answer.

It’s an excellent university and attracts top students in all subjects. I would say it is more well known for other fields and perhaps not as strong as others in some areas of STEM, but this has more to do with their research output then their undergraduate courses.

thanks. Would you recommend UCL for science?

UCL>> bath /Bristol/ York?

I'm aware i have to look at other factors.

Not one bit

you dont think one bit? Even the management school? ofc i dont mean they are lse level. But lancaster has a pretty solid management school especially considering that lancaster is still a relatively newer uni than most others.

Nottingham or loughbrough rank better surely?

For the past now 5 years it appears Loughborough has done really well in uni rankings and have been consistently in top 10 - im just wondering if it is a good uni that will open lots of doors and not just well regarded for sports but also other subjects

dont think lboro's management school is that great(at least thats what i've heard), they're better for sports and engineering. Its the same for nottingham too, they;re good for medicine/pharmacy,geography,perhaps engineering too but havent heard much about its business school

It always astounds me that Loughborough has such a good reputation yet Loughborough as a town remains so horrendous and unkempt, despite a couple of random cinema complexes that have been added and do nothing to improve actual town centre.

Such a good reputation to whom? It is a second rank university.

Yes but as a town it's still more known for its uni than anything else. I always hear people refer to it alongside Nottingham uni when considering studying in the midlands, especially for engineering or sports science.

It is very good in certain subjects, but on the whole it isn't seen as being on the same level as the Russell Group universities and several others (St Andrews, Bath, Lancaster, Aberdeen).

No i didn't think it was, but regardless the state of the town is quite miserable given the success the uni does have

LMFAOAOA

okay bro I need your honest opinion. Which ones of these are prestigious?

1. Bristol
3. Southampton
5.Leeds?
6. Southampton?
7. Bristol?
8. Nottingham?
9. Bath?( Not Russel group)
10. Sheffield?
11. Liverpool?
KCL?

Oh which ones have a reputable uni and still look like crap?

Bangor and Leicester, though they are cities.

Were Bristol & Southampton so good you named them twice? The best of this lot imo are Bristol, Southampton, Leeds, Notts, Sheffield and Bath. And Kings for certain things like Law.
