So happy to be back to university routine: heavy bags, blazers (when I’m not lazy), hours of discourse and debates about this (yet) unknown thing called “literature”

Inspired by my university, and my desire to draw an underwater scene. I also give you my reference pictures.

I want to study in Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, at least in the Sorbonne or some kind of college where classes are great, the infrastructure is beautiful and practical, with outdoor spaces with lots of grass to sit (for picnics with other students, or to read by yourself) and just relax. I want to be taught by Professors Researchers, and I wanna be able to take every book that i need to read from the university's library. I want cafeterias with a few normal options for lunch at a cheap price, and coffee from the uni café or from those shitty coffee vending machines.

Napoleon reopens the Sorbonne after it was closed down in 1793

Place de la Sorbonne — Victor-Jean Nicolle (1754-1826), early 19th century

“Abolished in 1793, the faculties were recreated under the Empire in 1806, the official date of birth of the faculties of letters and sciences.”

French:

Supprimées en 1793, les facultés sont recréées sous l’Empire en 1806, date de naissance officielle des facultés de lettres et de sciences.

Without defending the citadel of the mind, how can we build a beautiful city? Without the conviction of true propositions, whence do we think beauty will come?

- Sir Roger Scruton

La Sorbonne was named for its founder, Robert de Sorbon, chaplain and confessor of Louis IX. The history of the institution has always been closely linked with that of the University of Paris, one of the most important medieval universities of the French capital. Throughout the centuries, la Sorbonne became and remained a prestigious symbol of the university, training and teaching many of the great philosophers and masters of theology and history.

The University of Paris opened its doors in the 13th century. It was formed from a conglomeration of all of the colleges of the city's left bank. It was here that training occurred for all of Paris' clergy, administrators of royal institutions (courts of audit, courts, parliament, the council of state), as well as agents of ecclesiastical institutions ((bishops, abbots, education and hospital agents). Young students of the Four Nations at the time (French, Normandy, Picardy and English) came there to study law, medicine, theology and the arts. Thus, the University enjoyed unmatched prestige and international renown. In 1253, Robert de Sorbon opened his school on the Parisian Mountain, Sainte-Geneviève. The institution was primarily meant to train the poorest students (like many other colleges on the hill), but soon the Collège de Sorbon acquired a reputation, gradually becoming the famous theological faculty La Sorbonne .

The 17th century brought change. In an effort to bring new life to the old buildings, Cardinal Duc de Richelieu appointed architect Jacques Lemercier to undertake updates to the Sorbonne's structures. Cardinal Richelieu was very involved in the life of the Sorbonne and would go on to become headmaster in 1622.

The turmoil of the French Revolution would force the doors of the Sorbonne to close for a time. Starting in 1801 the Sorbonne housed simple artist workshops. During the Restoration, Louis XVIII decided to restore the buildings of the Sorbonne to their original purpose: education. In 1821, the Paris Academy and the École des Chartes (which trained students in archival conservation and preserving written heritage) took possession of the Sorbonne.

GUYS IM LOWKEY FREAKING OUT I NEED HELP MAKING A DECISION

(read full post before voting!!)

info about both universities below the cut

so i just got accepted into la sorbonne (really selective university) to do a major in theater and a minor in english

im also accepted into an llce program (literature, language, culture, (in) english) this one isnt selective at all tho

i prefer la sorbonne in terms of classes but it is in Paris which 1. is pretty far (3h by car) 2. is really scary for a countrygirl

then there’s llce which is fine but not as interesting as theater HOWEVER its only 1h away

also i have to rent a student apartment regardless but theyre more expensive and harder to get in Paris

all of my teachers and friends are telling me la sorbonne is a one in a lifetime opportunity but im also terrified of going to live by myself in Paris

i think im gonna die
