The 50-acre University of Colombo campus, which originally opened as the Ceylon Medical School in 1870, is surrounded by long tree-lined avenues lined with colonial-era mansions. Of note is Cumaratunga Munidasa Mawatha along the southwest side of the sporting green. Ponder the gracious lives of the people who built the Italianate Baroque Saifee Villa in 1910 and the nearby turreted College House in 1912. (And spare a thought for the hard lives of the servants.)
The university is the biggest in Sri Lanka and offers curriculums to a variety of streams.
