Rise of the Moderns/University

In Rise of the Moderns and Time of War: 1800, the University requires the first level of Science — Archaeology — to be researched before it can be erected. While it also creates knowledge which is vital for the survival of your civilisation, it also impacts on your happiness by creating a one-time increase in dissent. The amount of happiness lost as a result depends on how high your Knowledge technology levels are.
Aside from that, the University also hosts research for three other fields: Tax, Construction and Medicine. These upgrades are vital as they are required for many other upgrades elsewhere. The Construction upgrades are vital as they are needed to create rifled units in the Industrial Era.

Knowledge is a double-edged sword. While it helps by increasing the amount of knowledge that your civilisation creates, it also results in unhappiness, eventually affecting the effectiveness of your mercenaries, attrition and taxation. For more information, visit the page titled Happiness. In general, all universities reduce your happiness by 7% whenever built, and the amounts increase with each level of Knowledge research that you undertake. However, it may well be a necessary evil since the tech Humanism is so important - it helps unlock all other applicable technologies in the game!
Note: the Statue of Liberty Wonder allows you to research a technology, Manifest Destiny, which pushes your knowledge production rates to the highest level possible, and eliminates the negative impact of universities on happiness.
