Yeah, I was wondering how they defined "university". Like, should we count hanging out at Socrates house to be going to university? It makes more sense that they mean "An institution that is now an accredited university and has been an institution in some form for a very long time." But it kinda deflates the argument a bit...

Probably an institution of higher learning with regular teachers and students, and the graduation of students from a regular 'course' of study, rather than purely ad hoc.
