Oxbridge is a huge deal, maybe not so much for the education, but definitely for the connections

IMO professional connections are more valuable. Friends from uni will end up doing all sorts of things, most of them unrelated to you.

Also former Oxbridge attendee, it really isnt a reputation that is fully deserved. Local unis are more than fine. What matters more is your outlook on life, openness and adeptness to exploring yourself, industries and communities - ultimately resulting in mastery of a niche (or niches) and then hopefully wealth. Can Oxbridge facilitate some of this? Sure, but your local uni can too.
