In the last decade, Oxford and Cambridge were universities for the " upper-class" people of England. But now,

Question

I notice that more and more are going to University of Edinburgh, like Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis and George Percy, future Duke of Northumberland. Is University of Edinburgh a good university and the new " Oxford" ? ( as in the university for Europe's high society world)

By the way, this is just a hypothetical question, I have no interest in going to UK for my university studies, even if they have good universities. so no mean comments please!

Answer 1

The UK's top 15 Universities:

Oxford

Cambridge

Imperial College

London School of Economics

St Andrews

Warwick

University College London

York

Durham

Edinburgh

Loughborough

Bath

Bristol

Nottingham

Royal Holloway

All these universities are excellent. I don't know how you know more are going to Edinburgh University but yes, it is a very good university. As for Oxford, people usually assume it's the best but really it's based on it's world reputation.

Hope this helps.
