DeVry is clearly third but I’m torn between whether Oxford or Cambridge has more pure prestige and brand recall in the world… genuine question but what do you think OP?
Ok I was torn before but now I know this is a troll account.
I chuckled at first but the bit is getting stale.
It’s not I swear… it’s just that as somebody with a long reverence for Britain and its two premier universities, I’m confused why Cambridge is never regarded as the single most prestigious/famous university in the world, at least online.
Just search on google with quotes “most prestigious university in the world” or “most famous university in the world” and out of hundreds of results they will only direct to Harvard half of the time and Oxford half of the time… where is Cambridge?!?!
Well for what reason should it be Cambridge?
Cambridge is in Cambridgeshire, England, hope this helps
You know what I meant…
No, I don't, could you explain again
Whenever Oxbridge are described as equal or more prestigious institutions than their HYPSM counterparts by people online, they are either always mentioned together (Oxford and/or Cambridge), or it’s just Oxford that is mentioned singularly. Why is Cambridge never mentioned singularly?
On TikTok especially I notice that people, when trying to refute Harvard’s status as the most prestigious university in the world, almost always use only Oxford as the counterexample. Occasionally they use “Oxford and/or Cambridge” as counterexamples together, but they never use Cambridge by itself as the main/sole counterexample. Why is that?
Hmm, explain more, I'm not really understanding
Stop being like this it’s not a hard question…

That list has Toronto over Oxbridge. You cannot be serious.
Personally I liked Toronto more than Oxford and Cambridge, better night life
UToronto has nothing on Oxbridge nor the UK. The UK literally owned half the world and has universities and pubs older than the entire US/Canada. It’s not even a comparison.
You can definitely compare them. I'd argue UToronto has hotter girls
Disagree. Anyways do you think Cambridge or Oxford has more worldwide pedigree and contribution to human civilization?
Id say UToronto
