<p>@RML Yes, but that is due to reputation of Oxford. If you actually take a look at the quality of education your receive in Imperial and the rankings for engineering and computing, Imperial is comparable if not even better in Oxford. </p>
<p>Right now, i study at Dulwich College, a boarding school in south london and here many boys acknowledge that Imperial in the field of science/engineering/tech is on par with oxford if not better. If you don’t believe me, go on the student room and ask, i don’t wanna waste anymore time on a thread which OP has already made his/her decision.</p>
