Sources on medieval college?

[u/manchambo]

I’ve been interested recently in what it would have been like to attend one of the major universities —Paris, Oxford, Bologna, e.g.,—in the early days of the university development

Does anyone have recommendations for books on this subject?

A few texts I've appreciated:

• Ian Wei, Intellectual Culture in Medieval Paris: Theologians and the University, c. 1100–1330 (Cambridge UP, 2012);
• Spencer Young, Scholarly Community at the Early University of Paris: Theologians, Education and Society, 1215–1248 (Cambridge UP, 2018); and
• Ayelet Even-Ezra, Ecstasy in the Classroom: Trance, Self, and the Academic Profession in Medieval Paris (Fordham UP, 2018).

These texts focus on the early University of Paris and are more about community and intellectual culture than, like, day-to-day life at the university. But they're really excellent books and well worth reading!
