Uni and butlers, how do you do it?
I love sending my sims to University, but the roomies are awful. They leave food in the oven and I have to constantly watch the oven before my sim goes to class so the kitchen don't burn down. Then th...

I don't bother with the jobs board - just collect funds from the Administration building every day - or every other day depending on whether I forget. More than enough to pay for a maid and/or any repairs that are required. Bonehilda is good... but she always disappears on me. Probably down at some bar getting sloshed or running around raking up leaves somewhere in town. Haven't used a butler in forever (makes note to use one soon), but as I recall you have to have a bed for him and if you want him to stick around, you have to befriend him. When I take a sim to Uni, I always convert an area in the dorm as a room for my sim (one of the downstairs living areas) - I'd probably make him his own room too. I usually add all-in-one bathrooms and a washer/dryer for everyone too just because.
As for cooking, I always put in a really good stove, add dishwasher & trash compacter, food processor, microwave, etc. Since my sims usually have at least 3 cooking skill (because I HATE fires lol) On the weekends they can cook a few group meals to tide roomies over so less cooking takes place. If you have the fryer from the store, just put that on the counter. They'll use that incessantly and it doesn't create fires - at least not that I've ever seen.
If you don't have funds for that or don't want to be bothered, remove the stove and put a microwave on the counter and make sure there's a grill outside - just not too close to the house. Problem solved.
