With 26 British prime ministers, 58 Nobel prize winners, over 150 Olympic medals list that reads like a historical hall of fame, the institutions of Oxford and Cambridge – collectively known as Oxbridge –are seen, by many people, as the dream alma mater（母校）.
However, as admission season dawns, and the October 15 deadline for Oxbridge inches ever closer, many students may wonder what makes the UK’s top two institutions so special. Why does Oxbridge symbolize the academic dream for so many? Do the universities deserve the reputation they hold in the minds of so many teenagers, parents and academics?
There is no doubt that both Oxford and Cambridge have a long standing history of academia. Yet, what is often overlooked is the strong reputation of countless other universities in the UK.
A simple click on Google can tell students that the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, for example, has over 18 Nobel Prize winners and 50 world leaders. University College London attracts students from 150 countries and has exchange and research links with nearly 300 overseas universities. Manchester University has the largest student union of all UK universities.
I suddenly realized the Oxbridge effect when I was out in London with friends. I met some new people and was surprised by their reaction when I told them I was going to study at Cambridge. One person even got down on one knee and kissed my hand.
From then on, I told people I was going on a gap year. Although I knew that Oxbridge provides a good education, I had never expected to get such extreme reactions. It was this that made me start to feel uncomfortable about the way that Oxbridge is viewed.
The Cambridge Tab, the university’s student newspaper, has argued that what makes Cambridge special is the fact that the students are told that they are unique and a cut above the rest, so they believe it.
For students applying now, yes, you will receive a world class education at Oxbridge, but you will find the same at numerous other universities throughout the country. Every time you hear about the brilliance of Oxbridge, consider that just because many believe, it does not have to be so.

Amazing waterbodies
New Zealand’s waterbodies include an impressive 4,25,000 km of rivers and streams, 4,000 lakes and more than 200 underground aquifers at the last count. The government has successfully remained their special character and protected the local plants and wildlife. To develop the tourism and economy, each waterbody is treated with the most love, respect and care.
Big-sky country, controlled wilderness
The sky hangs large as well as low over those forests; stand after stand of pine serve as windbreakers; trees are turned into special shapes by the force of powerful wind from the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. New Zealand has an area of 6.4 million hectares of forest, nearly all located in the South Island. Kiwi country was covered with forests before the human arrived. But today, forests are being widely replanted wherever required, and ecotourism (生态旅游) has influenced the large wilderness.
Maori culture
The Polynesian settlers arrived in New Zealand between 1250 and 1300 CE, and, over time, they developed their own culture, language and performing arts. The Europeans came in the 17th century. The relations between the Maori and the new arrivals were nice at first, but everything changed soon. However, lots of efforts have been put since 1999 for a better society and to ensure that the Maori, who form 14.9 per cent of the population today, are active in all fields of New Zealand life and culture.
Delicious food and drink
When you are in New Zealand, don’t miss the famous food here like Meringue-based pavlova, which is considered as its own creation and Maori hangi with chicken, pork and lamb, as well as various vegetables, cooked in an underground pit. Fact is, one could go to Kiwiland just to eat and drink!
The result is so perfect that every travel fan should make New Zealand in the list.
