Built and opened in 1955, University Station was originally named Ma Liu Shui (馬料水) after the predominant name of the area before the Chinese University of Hong Kong was built. However, even at this point the station was serving Chung Chi College (崇基學院), which would become part of the new university in 1963. The station was given its present name in 1966, and in 1983 its tracks were electrified along with the rest of the KCR British Section.
A Chinese goods wagon derailed north of the station at around 2:00p.m. on 4 June 1988. Nobody was injured, but the derailment led to thousands being stranded at University, Tai Po Market, and Fo Tan stations, leading to an "almost hysterical scramble for road transport". At 5:00p.m. a lorry overturned in the northbound carriageway of the Lion Rock Tunnel. Together, the accidents caused a "great stoppage" in Kowloon and the eastern New Territories, leading to anger and fights at massive queues for taxi ranks and bus stations. The Police Tactical Unit was dispatched to University Station.
University is the seventh station on line A of the Medellín Metro. It is located in the eastern part of Medellín. The station is located in an area of great academic, cultural and scientific importance and a site of great confluence of routes to different parts of the city because its proximity to the University of Antioquia and metropolitan areas such the Botanical Garden of Medellín and Barefoot Park.
Description
The station has a pedestrian bridge leading to the eastern entrance of the University City Main Campus of the University of Antioquia, one of the most important centers of higher education in the country, with an influx of more than 45,000 students and teachers. Inside the campus is located among others, the University Museum, the Central Library, and a sports complex. It is for this reason that the station has been called "University".
The station is also located near other important cultural attractions, including the Planetarium of Medellín and its astronomical park, a local attraction park and the Joaquin Antonio Uribe Botanical Garden of Medellin, and Parque Explora. Also it provides easy access to the House Museum Master Pedro Nel Gómez in the Aranjuez neighborhood through routes that lead to that neighborhood. The station communicates with the Carrera Carabobo and Railroad Avenue.

Hong Kong’s 99 metro stations are all identified by their own individual colour scheme. The idea was originally meant to help illiterate travellers find their stops, according to Andrew Mead, the chief architect of the city’s Mass Transit Railway system better known as the MTR. The colours of each station are derived from the surrounding environment, or take cues from the Chinese names of the stations. The stations’ vivid hues and the use of calligraphy and public art all help to give each station its own vibrant character, explains Post reporter Alkira Reinfrank.
