Oxford vs Cambridge
1. Oxford University is older.
Being number one is always something special. Oxford University is the oldest university in Britain, which means that its history and tradition are richer than Cambridge University. If you like to be associated with the first university in British history, you can't find it anywhere else.
2. The course scale is smaller.
If you want to study somewhere and make your tutor pay more attention to you, then Oxford University is definitely more suitable for you than Cambridge University. In the QS World University Ranking, the teacher-student ratio of Oxford University ranks sixth in the world. In contrast, Cambridge is only ranked ninth.
3. Some disciplines in Oxford University can hardly be defeated.
Although Oxford University may be two places lower than Cambridge University in the QS World University Ranking, according to the QS World University Discipline Ranking, Oxford University ranks first among four different disciplines. If you want to study anatomy, physiology, archaeology, English language and literature or geography, it is meaningless to consider any other university. Even if you are not interested in these subjects, the performance of Oxford University in these majors is still much better than that of Cambridge University, which ranks among the best in only one subject.
You can meet the alumni of Oxford University and even have lunch together.
One of the most wonderful things in my experience at Oxford University was talking with Tim, a graduate and professor of Oxford University. Berners-Sir Lee went to the party together. Sir Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and shaped the world we live in today. He is arguably the most important figure in the 20th century. I had lunch with him in a university. Oxford University provides you with many such opportunities, so that you can get in touch with living legends, and you can't wait to tell your friends and family about these experiences. Just remember, brag in moderation.
The buildings of Oxford University are more beautiful and famous.
If you read JK Rowling's Harry Potter series as a child, you may dream of studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and being assigned to Gryffindor to play Quidditch. This dream may never come true, but the closest thing to it is to go to Oxford, because many Hogwarts scenes in the Harry Potter series were shot in Oxford. This means that technically, if you choose Oxford, you are actually choosing Hogwarts.
6. Oxford University is in a leading position in the certification of top courses.
One of the main reasons why I choose Oxford instead of Cambridge is that I will get a master's degree certified by GCHQ. GCHQ is a well-known British communication organization, which cooperates closely with MI5 and MI6 in national and international affairs. In other words, your education is the most officially recognized. Cambridge University can't give you such a high certification at present.
7. You may become the next prime minister.
If you want to deal with global political issues and lead the country at some time, or just enjoy having powerful and famous friends, Oxford University is the place you should go, because it has given you more education than any other university. The current Prime Minister Theresa May is one of 27 graduates from Oxford University. It is really cool to follow in their footsteps. Margaret. Thatcher, Tony? Blair and David. Many people, such as Cameron, have studied at Oxford University, and some of them even come back to attend alumni gatherings and other activities.
