Hello guys recently I've applied to Oxford and Imperial for physics and physics with theoretical physics respectively, each a 4-year course leading to a Master's degree. Of course, things would be perfect (if not i wouldn't be asking for opinions here) if both accepted me, but Oxford rejected me while Imperial offers me a place.
I applied for entry in 2011 deferred to 2012, as I'm now under military conscription and would only be released in February 2012, so my question is whether I should reapply to Oxford next year or accept Imperial's offer?
How does Oxford compare with Imperial for physics? What are their different areas of specialty and differences in teaching? Oxford seems to be better in reputation than Imperial because of "brand-name", and the fees are cheaper by £3000/yr and costs of living in London are expensive.
If i reapply to Oxford, I will have to reject Imperial this year :S. So my question is - Is it worth the risk? (To answer that, I need information on the physics departments in both universities)
Much appreciated.
