The University is a founding member of the Association of Universities across Nippopolis (AUN) and is designated as a RU/VH Research University (very high research activities). The university possesses 11 major colleges and over 100 majors and minors. It currently serves over 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The annual operating budget for the university in 2014 was $5.3 billion. The total endowment of the university is $79.13 billion in 2013 according to the [[University of Clementine Financial Holdings LLC]], where the majority of the financial endowment is managed.

The campus is at an estimated size of 1,200 by 1,000 blocks, making the main campus of the university slightly larger than 1.1 square kilometers. The campus is well known for its lack-of-interior architectural style. The chief architect of the university, [[DancingChimp]], employed a wide range of building styles on the different buildings, including the Beaux-arts and Baroque architectural styles. There are two major gardens located on the campus. "Er Hortem Finem Garden (EHFG)" was named after [[Enderkilla]] and is located between the School of Business and the graduate library. The garden is sometimes considered to be the heart of the campus due to its history and proximity to various administration and academic buildings. "Hiddick Garden" is directly adjacent to the right of EHFG and is located between the School of Law and the School of Business.
