Discover University set in England
I'll have to buy it then! It's home to me. Britechester is based on England and the weather will reflect that. It is a typically rainy, cloudy world. What I particularly liked: The Repo man is back...

Set in England but has elective classes, cheerleaders, mascots and no kitchens in dorms.
I don't think there are cheer leaders according to Simscommunity but something like "pep rallies" from his info. Some UK universities have a mascot eg. Kent has a rabbit, one has a carrot! Some Universities have "Rag Weeks" where things like mascots get held up for Ransom for charities.
Imperial College London probably started all this judging from their history!
"Imperial has an age-old tradition of mascotry, symbolising its spirit and character. Mascots are either ‘inviolate’ (they can’t be stolen) or ‘violate’ (they can be swiped and then held for ransom). The kidnapping of mascots is a game of skill, cunning and opportunity played by the various students’ unions to raise money for well-deserving, student-run charities (RAG). Imperial College Union President 2011–12, Scott Heath, described it as “an adults’ game of hide and seek”. Those caught attempting to steal have faced retaliation, such as being covered in motor oil, wood chips and a can of lasagne, before being set free. Don’t say you weren’t warned."

PS: My brother called football, soccer but then he went to a school where they played Rugby. :smiley:
