Help me choose: Camford or Oxbridge?

by bln123 » Fri Dec 10, 2010 2:39 am
Hey there,

I got positive replies by ESADE, Oxford, and Cambridge.
Now, ESADE is out of the race, but which school should I choose?

Both:
+Small class
+Good reputation / big brand names (mainly due to larger university)
+similar tuition fee
...

Main differences (from my point of view):
Cam:
+closer to technology / start-up centre of UK
+more diverse student body / career goals (Ox seems to be more finance focused)
+nicer town

Ox:
+larger class (250 vs 180)
+more scholarships available


Your opinion?

Congratulations on your offers.

If I were in your position, I'd pick the university with

1.) The better class offerings. i.e. offer the classes in subjects which I am most interested in

2.) Has the larger alumni network in sectors I want to get into

3.) Where i can win the most scholarships/prizes
