Yes that's the Times rankings. The universally accepted rankings are the Complete University Guide. It is impartial. It's also more accurate

Only two schools are considered tops, obviously: oxford and cambridge.

LSE also has a strong reputation, but only in the business world.

LSE has equally stringent admissions criteria but you're correct it is a financially leaning university. It also has 50% of its undergraduates from overseas, when you throw in post-grads, 70% of their total students are international.

So the rest of the (financial) world clearly doesn't agree with the mom from VA

Oxford is #1.

No surprise.

Thank you for your irrelevant contribution. Now we know what a housewife VA has to say about UK schools….

Why do you assume that I am a VA housewife?

DP. Did you forget what website you're on? Most people on here are from DC, MD, and VA. Who are you expecting to respond to this post? If OP wanted the opinion from people living in the UK, they should have known not to post this here.

Imperial College London is the MIT/CalTech equivalent for the UK, except that Imperial also has a medical school.
