Rotation players: question

So when I get a college for New Edenia, my rotation will be 1 day per regular neighborhood household, then a full semester of college for each college household, then back to the regular neighborhood. On the last day of the season I just skip the college crew. I try and minimize the number of college households to keep things more interesting (and so studious sims can benefit or suffer from the antics of their party animal buddies,) so at first it's probably going to be only one household.

That's pretty much what I do for college - one semester and then 1 day with each of my families. I found that it age people up pretty well. Usually by the time my kids graduate, their parents are close to seniors. I also save up my college students until I have 8 and send them all at once. For my first play through University, I had 9 kids. Well guess what: one dropped out of college. ;)

Someone mentioned in another thread that the didn't like seniors because there was nothing to do with them. Maybe it's because I'm almost a senior (I can already get cheap coffee at McDonald's!) but I find they can do all kinds of things like help raise the kids so both parents can work, have a home business to make money, etc. Plus if you move one of the kids back home with the parents, guess what happens to all the family wealth when the senior passes on? To heck with life insurance! The "good" child who lived with the parent becomes pretty wealthy. Since I like to grow my neighborhood organically, by the 3rd generation, some of my families can have anything they want, have HUGE houses, butlers, etc.

Anyway, thank you all for your responses. I just find it interesting the differences in how we all play.
