So, Nawojka isn’t just the name of a dorm next to the physics department at Jagiellonian University?
I’m sorta ashamed that I didn’t know this already:
There is a grain of truth in every legend. One of those legends is the story of Nawojka, who is a good example to follow for young girls with academic inclinations. Nawojka is considered to be the first female student and teacher in Poland. It was about 1407 when she, disguised in boy’s clothing, entered the Kraków Academy in violation of all rules, laws, customs and tradition; defying everything that was expected of women at that time. This fact was recorded about 1429 by Martin of Leibitz, an elderly abbot of the Benedictine order in Vienna.
This is the front of the dorm (they have a bar and cafeteria within the same building):
And this is a sign for the cafeteria that’s been there forever (at least since 2007):
