Alec Baldwin 'Rust' prosecutors concede embarrassing early loss

37. I've no idea why you're so invested in this minor point.

I described it as "arguably the most prestigious in the UK". I did that because an American readership might never have heard of St Andrews, and the next thing you know, I'd have had to correct the idea that it was some parochial, remote seat of dubious learning with straw in its ears. I see no reason to revise my statement.

I've given you the up-to-date and historical rankings, which you originally relied upon, but now want to substitute with your own opinion. It's topped Oxbridge twice in recent years on those measures, whatever your own judgement. It was also prestigious enough for the current second in line to the UK throne and his wife to be attracted to it.

"Prestigious" is in any case a subjective term (I also rebel at the idea of applying the "league table" approach to education, but it's the name of the game nowadays, so whatever). A degree from St Andrews certainly impresses prospective employers.

Try a Google search if you want to pursue this, and go argue the toss with any of the sources in the results! - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22st+andrews%22+prestigious&ei=Y4P2Y8r5HNiV8gKwyoVA&ved=0ahUKEwiKt9Lyg6r9AhXYilwKHTBlAQgQ4dUDCA4&oq=%22st+andrews%22+prestigious&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQDDIJCAAQBxAeEPEEMgkIABAHEB4Q8QQyCQgAEAgQHhDxBDIFCAAQhgMyBQgAEIYDMgUIABCGAzoKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzoJCAAQBRAeEPEEOggIABAFEAcQHjoLCAAQBRAHEB4Q8QRKBAhBGABQoghY0w1gziNoAXABeACAAcYCiAG9A5IBBzAuMS4wLjGYAQCgAQHIAQjAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp
