Wandering Mind University (WMU) is a nomadic public institution of secondary and tertiary education located in Clapton. WMU offers secondary and tertiary degrees for post-primary learners, concentrating in the areas of the agrarian arts and the civil sciences.
Students are attracted to the Wandering Mind University primarily from the RV Ridge region and the areas of southwestern Illuminatia west of the Chromatic Range, though the university does not tend to attract students from urban areas of the Southwestern Megalopolitan Complex. WMU is highly noted for the itinerant nature of its students and faculty, and the practice of the university's roaming classroom environment.
WMU, unlike most educational institutions, does not hold classes in a static location on a single campus. Instead, instructional sessions take place at various locations around southwestern Illuminatia, with those classes changing their location on a regular basis. Some courses pick up and move to a different town or city once every 20 DU. WMU students spend a large portion of their time traveling. Many courses hold classes outdoors in rural areas, in tents which the students take part in pitching.
In addition to nomadic in-person classes, many educational sessions also are offered via remote means. Students can use correspondence and telephone to take part their coursework, while instruction is also distributed to remote students via wireless and telekinephotography broadcasts in the region.
This nomadic setting allows the university to focus its resources on educational expenditures and faculty salaries, allowing students to enjoy a lower-than-average tuition while treating instructional staff with a better-than-average personal income.
Wandering Mind University does maintain a small administrative headquarters in downtown Clapton, where graduation ceremonies are also held. Students set out on a trek during their educational experience with their destination set on Clapton, where the students arrive to claim their educational certifications.
WMU is known for its specialized degrees in agriculture and civic management. WMU students, as is the case with students attending all public education institutions, enjoy a nearly 100% placement rate upon graduation thanks to a government-assisted matching system. WMU students are placed throughout Illuminatia in prominent positions overseeing cities' municipal resources and supervising agrarian practices in rural regions.
Wandering Mind University's enrollment totals 33,440 students. WMU receives funding and oversight from the Bureau of Education and Enlightenment. As with most public educational institutions, public funding accounts for nearly all of WMU's operational resources. The university's annual revenue stands at about 3,678,810μ annually.
