Anyone considering the UK?

A few questions:

1. Is it true that it’s frowned upon (or even not allowed?) to apply to both Oxford and Cambridge as an undergrad?

2. Due to very awesome circumstances, I have UK citizenship, Dutch citizenship, and American citizenship. I’ve lived in the US all my life; I’ve was born here. Can I still apply as UK/EU citizen? Should I? Would it increase my chances at all?

3. Which UK university is best for international relations? I’m just starting my research into the whole college process (2nd semester sophomore), but going to school in the UK certainly interests me, partly because I love Europe, partly because it’s near most of my family, and mostly because it’d be absolutely fantastic, and studying IR from a non-US perspective would be really interesting. I like the idea of PPE from Oxford, but I have no idea how strong their department is (I’d assume fairly good, after all, it IS Oxford…). Does anybody have any insight??

Thanks!
