Cambridge or Oxford?
 
Haunted
I'm planning to study abroad in one year and i'm thinking of either Cambridge, Oxford or maybe even University of Tokyo

but on the first two, i know that Cambridge slightly outranks Oxford academically, but if you had a choice which would you rather study at? which one has a better environment and just overall is a better place to stay at? I've never been to either towns so posting here i'm hoping someone who has will share his/her experience.

Thanks :)

I'm from Cambridge, and I think it's a great place. The university is considered the best in the world, so you'll get a wide range of students from all over the place. The place itself is quite busy, and very traditional-looking. Not sure about the nightlife as I haven't been out and about much in Cambridge. It's quite an expesnsive place to live though.

I can't comment on Oxford as I've never been there.

:)

EDIT: You've got to be the best of the best to actually get into either of them. ;)

arent they really strict at cambridge and oxford expecting you to integrate into their way of uni life and study? eg not living a life of disappearing off to clubs every opportunity etc? or have i made that up?
