St Hilda's College, Oxford

St Hilda's College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford[3] in England. The college is named after the Anglo-Saxon saint Hilda of Whitby and was founded in 1893 as a hall for women; it remained a women's college until 2008.[4] St Hilda's was the last single-sex college in the university as Somerville College had admitted men in 1994.[4] The college now has almost equal numbers of men and women at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
