<p>How prestigious, globally, is Cambridge? What would be its US equivalent?</p>
<p>Cambridge = Harvard or Yale. I would put Cambridge as the 2nd best college in the world behind Harvard</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cambridge University is why Harvard’s hometown is named “Cambridge.”</p>
<p>Cambridge is more like a hybrid between UChicago and Berkeley than any of the Ivies. It graduate 4000 undergrads each year. More than HYP combined.</p>
<p>Since it’s not a question about grad numbers, it’s nearly irrelevant. However Cambridge have a student pupulation around 18000, which is less then Harvard alone.
Despite in nearly every single ranking Cambridge beats Oxford, Oxford usually have a better reputation; they are doing better in pr, for instance (Rhodes Scolars, ecc.) Or Oxford just simpy sounds better, who knows :D</p>
