Oxford and Cambridge Universities have an awful lot in common. And last week was no exception.

I knew nothing about private universities before I started considering my options for higher education - in fact I didn't even know they existed. But deciding to study at LCA Business School right in the heart of central London, has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
