Comment from Philippa Burne
Groningen is perhaps not a name that immediately springs to mind when you are thinking of cities in The Netherlands, but this university town in the north might surprise you. There’s been a university here since 1614, and it graduated the first female student in The Netherlands and also the country’s first astronaut!
