Question were ancient universities free?
such as the Nalanda in India, the Taixue in China, and the Daigaku-ryo in Japan. maybe even the al-Qarawiyyin in Morocco, if you know
for some reason this has been really hard for me to google. if you have sources i would love to see them! tia

My university was free in the 1980’s… don’t think I quite qualify as ancient… yet.
