[quote=Anonymous]Interesting how this became an Ivy vs. Oxbridge or US vs. UK discussion (obviously there's differences). My original question is really more along the lines of whether and how a degree from either is better than a "regular" college or university. I have to admit I'm impressed by HYP and Oxbridge grads. It seems they someone with a bachelor's more than master's holders from middling institutions. I'm impressed too how far a bachelor's alone goes from these institutions. You'll find serious authors, top level journalists, or prestigious financial jobs on Wall Street and the City of London. That's almost unheard for a BA from say College Park or Penn State (or the red brick unis in Britain). It sounds elitist, but there does in a way seem to be a case for the tradition of the Oxbridge BA being "updated" to an MA. [/quote]
