What British universities are known in the US?

Thank you for the responses so far everyone, I’ve got one more day until I submit my choices so would be great to hear anyone’s last minute input.

@montefiore thanks, I am not looking at employability in the US though, looking to do a grad programme after my undergraduate.

@collegemom3717 ok so does it essentially not matter what university I go to in the UK as long as I do well whilst I am there and show why I am interested in pursuing further studies?

@CollegeRep18 are those schools like the Eton/Harrow equivalent in the US?

@LutherVan thanks, good breakdown.

@chzbrgr I’m a British student and would disagree with you. At least amongst my school, Manchester (and to an extent, KCL) is definitely not regarded to be in the second tier after Oxbridge - quite far from it in fact.

@Capricancer1 thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

@MassDaD68 yeh the last time I was in the US, I heard that for most people Oxford was the only well known British university but I’ve missed their deadline so wanted to exclude it from the answers I get.
