What you are saying here is that you can work the University in ANY WORLD if you do what you have outlined here?
What if one just put each University building in a saved file - then went to the World they wanted to put the University in and Placed those buildings ? Would it work this way as well ?
So, if I understand correctly, you are asking if you can edit the buildings in one save, then copy them to the bin, and use those from the bin in other saves?
I tried that with the science building and student union and had huge problems with classes and lectures. Sims would error out (often an inactive) and then no one could go to class. Sims would miss class as a result. That was my experience.
It's also not that easy to do that with the dorms. Dorms, the fraternity, and the sorority are technically community lots, but have sims saved on them. You cannot place households on community lots in Edit Town and you cannot change a residential lot to a community lot if there's a household on the lot. If you wanted to place new versions of those lots, you'd have to move the sims somewhere else. I never tried that, it got too involved for me.
I think it would be ok to just replace the social group hangouts, the gym, pool, and the java hut lots though. If that's all you wanted to do. I never edited the residential housing or any of the parks or beaches. I think those would be fine to replace from the bin.
Personally, I think editing a pristine version of university and copying the university .nhd file to new game saves is a lot simpler and easier than replacing a bunch of lots in each game you send sims to university.
If you do decide to replace academic rabbit holes and the student union with edited copies from the bin, just be aware of potential issues and do so in a test game first.
