That's deceptive. Sungkyunkwan, in it's present form as a university, isn't that old. As a place to learn, it is.
As far as modern universities go, places that teach more than Confusianism, Yonsei was first (at least in the form of Severance in founded in 1885 and Chosun Christian University founded in 1915 with the two coming together in 1957). |

Neat, you must have been an Oxford refugee. 
| Quote: |
By 1200, Cambridge was a thriving commercial community which was also a county town and had at least one school of some distinction. Then, in 1209, scholars taking refuge from hostile townsmen in Oxford migrated to Cambridge and settled there. They were numerous enough by 1226 to have set up an organisation, represented by an official called a Chancellor, and seem to have arranged regular courses of study, taught by their own members. King Henry III took them under his protection as early as 1231 and arranged for them to be sheltered from exploitation by their landlords. At the same time he tried to ensure that they had a monopoly of teaching, by an order that only those enrolled under the tuition of a recognised master were to be allowed to remain in the town.

No, a short history can porduce many arseholes too.
The arsehole production rate is an interesting criterion for excellence. |

I won a gold medal from that university, and it's still one of the last places I'd recommend people go. In my last year I spent more time in the Koerner Library than the Wacky Bennet Library if that means anything to you. |

| I can't find anything for the University of Khao San Road, where I got my degree. It's bizarre. |
