Dear Megan At the moment I'm thinking about Universities but if I can't find any that are:- a) suitable and b) within reasonable travelling distance of Oxford! Then I may have to revise my thoughts. I want to compare two - or possibly three - reasonably similar institutions (e.g. age/size/type/student intakes/research profiles) with opposite approaches ideally.
