Build/Buy
Unlike Gameplay, Build and Buy mode has been blowing me away for the last couple of years however, this time around it feels short.
I like the items that come with the pack, specially the more basic looking stuff. I know I will use them a lot but I can't really say that I am impressed with this pack's BB assets. It's not a bad catalogue but it feels underwhelming when compared with other recent packs.
There are some new little items that I love. You can make really cute looking dorms:

side note: at the moment, the new lamps can't be placed organically on the new desk you see in the picture without the move objects cheats. The gurus are aware and will hopefully fix this soon)
I really like that they made dorms as a lot type so we are able to customize them and build them however and wherever we want, that is great!
The cooking restriction is very weird and might be the way around they found to some fire hazzard issue.
I don't mind really that you "can't" edit the build once you have an active sim living there because it is simply achieved with the cheat bb.enablefreebuild
Britechester - The world -
Britechester is small and filled with fx and building shells. Aesthetically it feels like a mixture between Winderburg and Willow Creek, it's pretty but very samey and uninspired.

The nicest looking neighbourhood is the one where Britechester University is located but everything is set dressing.

I wish there were more lots to build and less fake unusuable stuff.
Here two screenshots, in red the only buildable lot around
