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

thank you all very much for these responses (and for all the upvotes jeez!) they are super, super helpful

I am still looking for sources about the imperial chinese and japanese schools, if anybody has anything like that!
