4.16 Building a University

Join us for a hands-on worldbuilding exercise as we create a university by answering ten questions:

1. What does the University teach?
2. Who is this University for, and who is excluded?
3. What does the University value the most—profit, knowledge, power, etc.?
4. What makes the University unique in its world?
5. How do students physically experience the University?
6. What are the social dynamics among students?
7. How is power structured within the institution?
8. How does the University interact with the outside world?
9. How do students change by the time they leave the University?
10. What’s the name of the University?
