Campus Summary

University College, or Univ as it has rebranded itself, started life as a poor college but grew and grew until it finally admitted women in 1979. Univ is nestled among other colleges and is a stone’s throw away from the architecturally stunning Radcliffe Camera. Some famous faces have seen the appeal of studying at Univ, including Bill Clinton, former president of the United States of America, and Harold Wilson, former Prime Minister of Great Britain. Maybe they were drawn to the central location, or the sprawling hallways or the tight-knit community, but if you fancy investigating exactly what drew them to Univ, you should come and see it for yourself.
