· They were organized into areas of study. They ceased to be just local schools when people came from far to attend the schools.
· Many times masters (teachers) would draw a big number of students e.g.Thomas Aquinas. These were like travelling universities. Both masters and students moved along. Once teachers and students met, he would set a chair and teach. In this way a university or a stadium was created. A group of students with a master. Once the group was formed, they made a guild. This could get a charter to guide them. The guilds were formed for protection against people interfering. The guilds also helped them gain recognition in both religious and secular world. A university can be defined as a study. A cooperate body of master and students. A cooperation of scholars.
A charter gave the university rights to confer degrees and give licenses to teach. It also exempted them from military service. It protected them especially students when they were travelling from unjust arrest. The charter also gave them the right to strike if their privileges were infringed. These charters were giving them privileges a protection. Certain towns e.g. Paris and Rome became centers of learning and attracted students from all over Europe. The universities were open for all nationalities
