We aren’t from the UK, and don’t live there. Obviously I know Oxford and Cambridge are top universities. But I’ve been doing research with my daughter who will be studying in the UK (bio sciences, or natural sciences…something like that), and Southampton keeps coming up but my husband is discounting it as he doesn’t rate it after talking with British friends and colleagues, who graduated 30 years ago!
My research is telling me that it’s a solid choice and should be in the mix. We don’t have predicted grades yet but she scored all A* bar 1 A for GCSE. Is he wrong and am I right?
