Oxford is better recognized in the world (I mean third world countries, South Asia, and other non-Western regions) than Harvard. It's also about 400 years older than Harvard, and in fact is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. An Oxford degree always, no matter the discipline, carries a certain cachet in the world.
But Harvard is, of course, Harvard. You can't go wrong either way, but I would personally choose Oxford, because it is not just well-known or prestigious, but truly legendary.

There is no one famous school. There are many of note, including Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the United States and the University of Oxford in England are two famous schools that come to mind.
This is a matter of personal view, but I would say Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard, are the main universities.
