Medieval University Life

Abstract: A 6 page essay that discusses common areas between university life in the Middle Ages and today. During the Middle Ages, centers of learning began to crow up in several European cities, such as Paris and Bologna, Italy (Wiesner, Ruff and Wheeler 152). Beginning in the twelfth century, student life became a feature of the towns that gave birth to nascent universities. There are an abundance of surviving primary sources from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that reveal what university life was like for the medieval students. Despite the passage of centuries, these sources reveal many common features between medieval university life and the present. Bibliography lists 1 source.
