There is a funny story from that period in Turkey, based on archeological findings.

There was a very large medical school there, surrounded by tall, thick, formidable walls. Medical students were similar in many ways to priests, in that they were supposed to be chaste and celibate. A large stone artifact of the time, found at the site, was a list, by the faculty, of all the known ways the students had figured out how to get over the wall, so they could go into town to drink, gamble, and frequent prostitutes.

It was a long list.
