It’s really weird Cambridge is ahead of Oxford in world rankings. Cambridge has a reputation for strongly preferring UK students.

- telotortium 4y agoCambridge has traditionally been ahead in science and mathematics (e.g., it's where Newton was a professor). On the other hand, Oxford until the 1800s was pretty much a seminary and theological college. As a non-Brit, I still get the impression that Oxford is where you would find the best philosophers and other humanities experts, while Cambridge is still slightly ahead in STEM
- AceyMan 4y agoHmm ... Cambridge had Russell and Wittgenstein, e.g., you have that bass-akwards wrt Philosophy departments.
