This is a wonderful comment!! Before coming into fediverse, I got so excited learning about local wikis, which grew from a wiki for the city of Davis. I am actually so sad that these local wikis didn’t grew to be popular, but the vision of having a hyper local wiki that houses general history, news, establishment reviews, local college/university advice etc. all in a wiki format is just amazing in my opinion!! I even saw people starting up a student club that moderates the wiki, and people had hosted edit-a-thon nights :)
Hosting a university fediverse instance is perfect for a student club - clubs usually get a bit of funding each term, which could be used for hosting expenses, and the mods etc can be the exec members of the club!
