University of the West Indies

What colleges have you attended?

I attended University of the West Indies , Mona Campus.

Upon reaching the Caribbean in 1492, Christopher Columbus thought he had discovered some part of India by traveling westward. Turns out he was far away from India and was situated in another continent .

The name hasn’t changed and as such, Jamaica’s most popular university was named after a mistake made by Christopher Columbus.
