“the college experience” was always “the ruling class experience”

\n\n

there’s some British college where - okay someone look this up for me I’m drunk - okay colleges were under canon and not civil law so the students had civil immunity

this was forever ago

And they would create mischief in the town, and the townies eventually got fed up and laid siege to the college, bows & arrows, 3 or 5 dead

Then the knights and oh fuck and for centuries every year on the occasion the mayor & town leaders had to crawl through town to the college gates and apologize
