Uh, the University of Constantinople was founded in 425.
The famous Buddhist monk and pilgrim Xuanzang spent two years in Nalanda studying. He wanted to study Buddhism in its purest form, so in the seventh century he traveled the Silk Road to what is now Afghanistan and from there went to India. IIRC, he visited the Buddhas of Bamiyan, destroyed by the same Religion of Peace that destroyed Nalanda.
