Canon Story: The Three Students
Title: University Choice (as featured in the Marylebone Illustrated)
Author:thesmallhobbit
Rating: G

Whilst many students choose to attend either Oxford or Cambridge, those in the north may prefer to attend Durham University and we have excellent facilities in our own city.  We are proud that our university was the first to accept female students on equal terms with their male counterparts and equally proud we were the first to award science degrees.

All those at the Marylebone Illustrated must be very proud of the University of London - it sounds excellent and rather forward-thinking ^^

Edit: I have just realised Watson went to the University of London, and he was there in 1878 when "London became the first university in the UK to admit women to its degrees". (I wonder if women were allowed to informally attend the university before that.) How interesting...
