The Royal Holloway is a university, just a few miles from our house. It is just down the street from the kids' school.
It was founded in 1886 and officially opened by Queen (tiny crown) Victoria. It has a little over 7,000 students. There are 120 different countries represented in the student population. It is affiliated with UCLA, NYU, and Berkeley in the states. The building is stunning, and is referred to as "the summit of high Victorian design."
The story goes that Thomas Holloway started a debate in The Founder, a local paper, on "How to best spend a quarter of a million or so." His wife said, "How about a womens' college?" And so it originally was.
