Similarly old universities are:

University of Sankore - 989

Oxford University - 1096 (or 1231, when it was chartered)

University of Salamanca - 1134

Also, the University of Bologna has only been continuously operating since 1945. There was a big argument among European cartographers and it had to suspend operations until they had their maps sorted out.

It’s just wild knowing that the universities began centuries before the Aztec empire and long outlasted it.
