Daniel would be getting a Master's, between a bit of train travel for important seminars, Skyping with the professor overseeing his thesis and electronic access to most of the world's classics, the show is missing a golden opportunity to have younger viewers see how to hang in there and get a solid education.

There is no reason that Daniel, who is studying the humanities, can't use distance learning most of the time, and head to Oxford now and then to meet with people or do original source research. He doesn't need science labs or a theater, just a word processor and books.
