"Becsöngettek." A helyi egyetemen ma kezdődött el az őszi szemeszter. A University of East Anglia (UEA) viszonylag fiatal intézmény, 1963-ban nyitotta meg kapuit egy ideiglenes helyen, míg az Earlham Golfpálya helyén el nem készültek az első épületek. Jelenleg a brit egyetemek rangsorában a 20-22. helyen található.
