Where to ? ~ ~
University College London or UCL was founded in 1826, and fun fact, in 1878, it became the first university in England to admit women 👩💼 on equal terms as men👨💼. Today, UCL is ranked 10th in the world and 4th in the UK, to languages, law to engineering and history to astrophysics. ~

Around 41% of its students 👨🏫👩🏫 come from over 150 countries around the world🌏, making up more than one-third of the university’s entire student population. And At least 90% of UCL graduates👩🎓👨🎓 enter work or further study within six months of graduating (Higher Education Statistics Agency in 2017). ~

Another fun fact, UCL is the place where it all started for Coldplay - where Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland first met during their orientation week and formed a band that led to 🎶Coldplay today! ~
