Ingrid Alexandra's Choice: A New Home In Sydney

Starting in August, Ingrid will begin her studies at the University of Sydney, where she has chosen a bachelor's degree in social sciences with a specialization in international relations and political economy. She will live at St Andrew's College, one of the most exclusive student residences on campus, which offers full facilities such as a gym and cultural spaces.

The director of the residence, Daniel Tyler, informed the students about the princess's arrival and requested respect for her privacy. "I know she's looking forward to integrating into university life and we hope she'll participate in clubs and activities," he said. Bryson Constable, president of the University Union, added that they hope Ingrid will build a cultural bridge on campus, highlighting the importance of her arrival.

A Safe Environment With History

St Andrew's College is a prestigious place, but not without incidents. In 2022, students were suspended after breaking into an unauthorized event at the Australian National University. In addition, in 2023, an altercation in one of its bars ended with a student injured, although action was taken quickly to ensure his safety.

A spokesperson for the residence defended the safety, describing it as "one of the safest spaces for young adults to live and study in Sydney." This balance between tradition, quality, and protection will be key for Ingrid to fully develop during her stay.

This step marks academic and personal growth for the princess, in an environment that will combine cultural and social experiences. The Norwegian royal family is committed to offering her the best conditions for her education. To keep a close bond with her roots while she explores the world.
