[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUMers: What would you choose? Oxbridge or HYP? For, say, Math/Physics/Economics?[/quote]

I know a non-HYP ivy grad who chose a 2nd tier US grad school over Oxford. Part of her logic was that she already has a [b]US ivy degree that was good enough for her so the Oxford name recognition didn't have the pull. [/quote][/b]

and how did that work out for her?  Odd choice.  Usually the last degree is the one whose stature gets you the best job placements.[/quote]

Another part of the student's logic was that the 2nd tier uni was in NYC, and she was betting on networking opportunities in the city.  [b]There's really no Oxford brand that her US non-HYP ivy did not have in terms of name recognition. [/quote][/b]

Sorry, I don't believe that for a second.  An Oxford DPhil opens doors  Thousands of doors.  Just the experience of being there and meeting other students and faculty from around the world opens doors.  Why would anyne think this for a second if they had such an opportunity?  I would kill to spend a few years at Oxford or Cambridge just for walking around rights, touring, meeting people, going to concerts, the architecture, touring europe and so on.[/quote]
