Model Lily Cole has graduated from Cambridge University with a BA in Art History—and she's not just a pretty face with a college degree, she's a pretty face with a double-first college degree, the highest undergraduate honors students can earn in the UK. The Telegraph reports: "Lily, 23, has been at King's College for three years and divided her time between her studies and working in London. She is recently rumoured to have bought a £1 million apartment above St Pancras Station in North London and regularly commuted from there to Cambridge. But throughout her time at the university she has thrown herself into college life, cycling to lectures, hanging out with her classmates and even modelling for the student newspaper. Last term she also combined her university life and acting career by starring as the lead role in The Seagull play at the ADC Theatre." [Telegraph]
