Oxford holds a lot of prestige with the general public and employers alike.
However, this is not purely academic. There are many good schools in the UK, but
you have the opportunity to develop yourself in so many other ways at Oxford,
which simply would not be available or affordable (owing to generous sponsorship
from blue chip and city companies) elsewhere. However, simply having an Oxford
degree will not get you a job, which a lot of people do not understand whilst
they are there. Campus recruiting is a massive part of the Michaelmas (Xmas)
term. Even if only as a PR excercise, companies are very keen to project
themselves in a positive light to those at Oxford. The careers service has been
on a massive expansion mission recently, but still has a long way to go to catch
up with it's American counterparts
