Paper Summary:

This paper looks at how medieval universities were quite different from the modern universities of today and how there are many differences between the two types of students. It examines how medieval university students, similar to modern students, liked to party, hang out with friends, study hard when necessary, and go on to make their mark in the world.

From the Paper:

"Like modern students, medieval students also had to earn money to attend school. They raised money "by loans and by the sale of text-books," just like today's students selling back their books at the bookstore after every semester, and applying for student loans to fund the next semester. In addition, students liked to spend time together when they were not in class, and often banded together to party and hang out in town squares or in the streets of their university towns, just like students do today. Sometimes they were carried away with their celebrations, just like students do today, and some residents of the towns often complained about their behavior, just like today. In addition, just like today, sometimes the antics got out of hand."
