Re: Phd in....
I studied at Oxford. 
..... OK, OK, it was a post-grad certificate, and it was at "Oxford-Brookes University" for three residential weeks over one semester.
......But it still impresses some people (sometimes)!

Re: Phd in....
I've never heard of anyone "attaining their real intelligence" by attending any university. Is that what you really meant to say?

I didnt get this either, but then I didn't attend Queen, I went to Nottingham.
If these students didn't attend a Queen's undergrad program well, its hard to tell where they attained their real intelligence.

I didn't but I'm glad you mentioned it. I now know to be appropriately deferential.

Re: Phd in....
No you won't.
I'm sure Queens is a fine university.
I do take issue with kids doing MBAs. The idea of an MBA is to take people with work experience and make them more rounded. The folk I know that have done best on the programme are all engineers, usually with a decade or more of experience. Irks that buy into an MBA programme straight after getting a BA have nothing to build on. I think they learn little of value, because they can't apply the theory to real life. They still expect to get paid lots, though.
If I ruled the world, nobody under 30 would be allowed to do an MBA.
