Oh my. I’m dealing with humanities, still, it’s clear that when it comes to ranking, prestige, or most importantly, funding, humanities not threaded equally with science. It is a fact, no matter whether you like it or not. Nobody would care much about an institution purely based on humanities, while many care about the ones based on science (MIT, CalTech, Imperial, for instance) and pls. don’t argue that “but MIT deals with humanities too” - it’s not their priority.

Oxford is the most traditional and conservative school I’ve ever been into, or ever visited. It’s definitely more conservative than Cambridge, although I agree, maybe the “traditional” would be a better word.
