I'm not sure that this post even justifies a reply. But since I've got nothing better to do until a colleague arrives at the office:
What a load of crap!
Reido, you've obviously done your research, using your own criteria, and decided that Oxford is the best school for you. Well, that's good. I can't fault you on the groundwork that you've done, and I'm sure that, having put the time and effort into making your decision, you will do very well at Oxford.
But did it ever occur to you that other people might have different criteria to you? Maybe they can't afford Oxford's prices? Maybe they prefer a more informal training environment? Maybe they had a personality clash with an instructor there, or perhaps they are particularly suited to the instructional style of an instructor who works somewhere else? Maybe they need to train near home due to work or family commitments, and home happens to not be near Oxford?
Everyone is different. Because of that, everyone has different needs. And because of that, there are a large number of schools out there to satisfy all of those different needs. Oxford has a very good reputation, but despite that, I chose not to train there, and I don't regret that choice at all.
