I'm a prospective history applicant looking at Cambridge and Oxford but I can't seem to choose one over the other... Can a history student at Cambridge or Oxford on TSR help me out? What made you choose Oxford/Cambridge for history?
I just want to hear from you and whatever you're happy to share with us here.

I'm not a history student at either, so I can't say anything about that, but I did visit both last week as a tourist, so I can give some advice, assuming you're equally interested in the course structure of both universities. Oxford is a bigger city, there's a large mall, and every other shop is a Harry Potter gift shop. It's older, and there's a lot of fascinating history around the site - Alice in Wonderland was created there! But this means it's also busier. Cambridge is smaller and more cosy, with really nice markets and independent bookshops. The river is picturesque, and getting from one place to another is really quick and easy. Definitely more peaceful. Less nightlife.
These are two very different styles of life, and figuring out which appeals to you more could help in the decision. Academically, they are basically on the same level.

yeah i'd also be really interested to hear about why people picked one over the other (specifically in terms of course and faculty) as I'm having the same issue
