Damascus University
The Damascus University is a large, sprawling building that may not have the height, but definitely had the size. As many as thirteen classrooms are built within its structure, each classroom with three rows of benches built in a step-up fashion so even those seated at the very back could see. The benches would line three sides of the wall in an oval shape, and the teacher would present their lesson from the middle of the classroom. Anyone who graduates from Damascus University is considered to be a scholar of great respect.
