Unfortunately, most of our nouns in education sphere are imported, so we have shkola, akademia, ooniversitet, gimnazii and litsei. Interestingly, "gymnasiums" had nothing to do with sports, but were high-level secondary education institutions, largely for nobility, i.e. future civil servants and officers. Thematically, Gimnazia would be the most appropriate for an enlightenment-era nationally prominent institution, but doesn't really work as a university replacement.
