Not as in-depth as it could be. It felt promising for the first few hours while the game is gradually introducing its mechanics, but it eventually becomes clear that all you'll be doing is adding new buildings when it tells you to, and hiring new staff when it tells you to.
None of the clever, strategic management I would expect of a game like this is required of you, nor is it possible. For example, once your campus gets large enough, there will be students complaining about having to travel long distances between classes. But, while you can view timetables, you can't change them, so you can't reschedule classes to fix the problem. And while the game will yell at you about it, there aren't really any consequences for ignoring it.
There is fun to be had here if you meet the game where it is. My issue is just that I wanted a campus management sim, but got the Sims build mode with a fun gimmick.

If you're like me and have somehow avoided learning a single thing about Terraria until now, keep in mind that it's borderline unplayable without a dozen fan wiki tabs open in the background, Stardew Valley-style. This game is in desperate need of tooltips. That said, I did clock several hundred hours in Stardew so clearly that doesn't ruin the experience for me (even if it does undercut the joy of discovery a little bit).
