Student riot
Student riots, college riots, or campus riots are riots precipitated by students, generally from a college, university, or other school. Student riots are often an aspect of student protests. Reasons 
As with riots in general, the causes are varied. Student riots have often been political in nature, such as those that were common in the US and Western Europe during the Vietnam War era. Student riots in China during 1989 arose when the students started protesting against the injustice of their politicians. In a number of countries, such as Mexico, Chile, Iran, Venezuela and Bangladesh, students form an active political force, and student riots can occur in the context of wider political or social grievances. On some occasions student riots have accompanied a general strike, a student strike, or wider national protests. Student riots have also been seen as hooliganism—such as after sporting events—with some in the US being linked to alcohol consumption. Responses 
Responses to riots are also varied. In response to student riots in China during 1989, the Chinese government opposed the protests and brutally beat and murdered those who participated in them. Examples 
The following are some examples of famous student riots:
 University of Paris strike of 1229
