I think this is a troll, but in case it's not, I'll still comment. Of course you should go to oxford. It's an amazing school and probably places the best into banking of any school in Europe. You practically get handed internships and spring weeks compared to other schools in Europe.
isn’t it super hard to recruit for America while going to a uk university, even if I’m a us citizen? I really don’t want to be stuck in the uk/Europe
Hey fellow monkey, listen, I know it sounds kinda logical to go recruit from a Chimp right to King Kong staying in your native jungle, but it makes more sense to go to another jungle, turn into a Gorilla, and then you will have much better chances to get a King Kong level back to your jungle.
Oxford vs. Santa Clara? That's like choosing between a Ferrari and a Yugo--with the Ferrari actually costing less.
Oxford is the most famous university in the world. current American "it" schools like Stanford have spent the last generation or two producing tech guys and aspirants to VC. Oxford has spent the last thousand years producing Anglo-American civilization (individual rights, free markets, liberal democracy, and all that other fusty stuff).
From a professional perspective, you'll never, ever regret having "Oxford University" figuring prominently on your resume.
