I recently tried starting a Legacy challenge for the first time, and I ran into an issue with sending my founder to university right away that I didn't find guidelines for on the challenge website and wondered how other people might have dealt with it.
The issue was, since I wanted my founder to go to university right away at the start of the game, I had to first put her on a lot and wait a few days while she applied. Since I wanted her to live on campus when she got accepted and she had no other family members yet, I knew she wouldn't be keeping the land I had bought for her to apply on. So, I just put her on a random 20x30 lot, reduced her funds down to $1800 per the guidelines, and bought her a tent to stay in until she went to campus. When she sold the land, she went to campus with more simoleons than she previously had (I guess from cost of land coming back to her?). I didn't adjust her funds because I wasn't sure what to set them too since there isn't really a specific guideline for that. I'm now also concerned that when she graduates she won't have enough simoleons to afford a 50x50 lot to get started on.
So to clarify, my questions are:
1. How many simoleons should a founder have in pocket when starting at university? (or just before starting taking into consideration what they may use of that to pay for first semester classes)
2. Should we adjust funds when graduating university in order to purchase land and have a set amount to start out with from there, or make them work their booties off while at college to be able to afford land and life after?
3. Also, if they take a break from university, where should they live and how many simoleons should they have before going back? They won't be able to afford land without adjusting funds at that time, so my guess is an apartment since they can't stay on campus while not enrolled in classes? (or is taking a semester off just not allowed due to living arrangement issues?)
