Oxford or Cambridge?

On a less academic front, you might also want to look into what each town offers outside of your college.

I love Cambridge- for me its one of those places where you could be time travelling. And it has the gorgeous Kings College Chapel. However, I was in Oxford a month or two back and enjoyed it much more than I had on previous occasions.

Oxford is probably a bit better located if you want to travel to the west of England e.g. Bath. Cambridge is a bit out on its own but if you take the train to Peterborough, you’re on the East Coast train line which links Aberdeen/Inverness in Scotland with Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, Durham etc. Both allow day trips to London.
