Call it inverted snobbery. I have nothing against Oxbridge at all I respect those universities a lot, I do have a problem with some elite universities which I am not going to name which don't seem to do much but get their reputation on history.
What I have a problem with is people automaticaly dismissing subjects or universities becuase its not Oxbridge. I am just trying to look at it objectivly. I guess its kind of like I have more respect for Skoda drivers than BMW ones. Its the reasoning behind it I guess.
It is difficult to explain, so yes I will openly admit I am an inverted snob, if I was rich I would probably drive a Skoda.
