Once you hit these levels of schools the school itself doesn't matter as much as the major. Figure out which school suits your major better.

Academically both are universities excellent. Oxford scores slightly higher in some league tables for services overall, but Cambridge scores slightly higher in research and graduate prospects. The cities are also similar, with Oxford having closer links with London and more of an industrial background. Cambridge lies in a more rural area. It comes down to personal choice.

Oxford and Cambridge are both stellar schools. However if one must choose, Cambridge is a more educationally balanced institution. Oxford has outstanding sports programs. Its been a running joke that Oxford breeds jocks and Cambridge breeds CEO's.
