Pros: Very good description of where a lot of traditions come from as well as what the students and villages went through living together at this time. It goes into a lot about the hazing at the times, the general studies, how draconic the rules were on doing anything and the punishments inflicted.
Cons: Lots of Latin. There are occasional overviews of what the Latin is about and if it doesn't include that you can still get the general gist from context clues. However, if you are the type of show more person who wants to understand what these lines actually say you will have to break out the Latin-English dictionary and figure it out yourself. show less
