This article says nalanda university was started in 5th century. It also says lord budha visted the university- Lord budha lived and died between 1st and 2nd century BC. Weird stuff. It is almost like the puzzles in egyptian pyramids.

It just says Buddha visited the "town" not the university. The town was a centre of Buddhism even before the University came into place.
Wikipedia says the following, "According to the Kevatta Sutta[13], in the Buddha's time N%u0101land%u0101 was already an influential and prosperous town, thickly populated, though it was not till later that it became the centre of learning for which it afterwards became famous."
