There is some concern about the size of the brow/nose piercings being too big. Are there different sizes?
All the new piercings are the same size, but we will keep this feedback in mind if we revisit these items.

And Last But Not Least...
Game Changer Q&A via @AlbaWaterhouse (Q&A was provided by the Game Changer Program and SimGuru/Maxis Studio):

What was your favorite part of the Discover University pack as gurus?
SimGuruDoi: For me, it was both balancing the academic rigor of university to provide a good challenge and also writing 312 class names and descriptions.
SimGuruNinja: For Me: I like the quirkier things like odd robotics interactions, secret soci—- nvm, and the mascots. Team Larry
SimGuruMorgan (who isn't here right now but answered on our end): CAS! It’s beauteous. And piercings are exciting to me. AND roommates! I’ve had a lot of fun with them, and I think they add a lot of gameplay possibility even outside of university play.
SimGuruLakshmi: : Hearing people exchange different stories about their Sim's experience at university. e.g. Roommates they loved or hated. Getting straight As or struggling to keep their job and pass 2 classes.
