Malala, the world’s youngest-ever Nobel laureate is currently trying to make up her mind if she she should go to Stanford in the US or Oxford in the UK; two of the best universities in the world.
While Malala previously said she would like to study politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford, her father highlighted the one thing that Stanford offers and Oxford doesn’t after touring the campus:
“They have 300 days of sun out of 365 days, which is a rare phenomenon in the UK. Three hundred days of sun makes a difference.”
Whereas, in the UK it rains 156 days a year.

Malala has also been a part of George Washington University’s Leadership Programme and appeared in Jon Stewart’s show.
She was only 15 years old when a Taliban gunman shot her in the head as she travelled on a school bus in retaliation to her campaign for girls’ education.
Last year she received the Nobel Peace Prize alongside India’s Kailash Satyarthi for risking their lives in the fight for children’s rights.
