How would you feel about a school pack?
Instead of just university, what if we got a generic School Pack? There would be a bit less focus on university and in return we would have High School and Elementary School improved on. Some thin...

This has been on my wish list for sometime. I'd like to see homeschooling or even something similar to the City Living careers, where you can choose to go to school or "study from home" where you get a few small assignments (like collect 3 frogs for Biology or interview an elder then write an essay about life in the old times). An education pack that focuses on non-college age could also have active day care/preschool for toddlers, for those interested.
I'd like to see a separate University pack, but with less emphasis on the stereotypical "party hearty" atmosphere and more on actual learning. Perhaps if you do well in university you start the associated career at the point where you get to choose the career branch. There could be rental houses in the university town -- since Sims can go to work/school from anywhere a married Sim could take his/her entire family, so you're not stuck with playing the same Sim endlessly while the family back home stagnates.
College education is still a big thing, both in the US and worldwide. There are simply more options, especially for older students, the ones who might be going back to pick up new skills for a possible career change. You've got community colleges and online colleges, or if you go to a 4-year school you might commute instead of live on campus.

The more I think about it, the more I don’t think we’ll be getting an education pack this go ‘round. There just doesn’t seem to be much respect for college education in the US like it used to be. People are getting degrees and are still without jobs. People are getting degrees and still don’t know anything.
I see the team focusing on something else personally.
