Discover University worth buying?
Seeing as we are some time into release now I am wondering if University is worth buying? The only EP I don't have yet are this one and Island living but I didn't buy that one because people say it's ...

I believe IL is on sale right now for 19.99. It doesn't have expansive gameplay that much like other packs. Highlight of the pack would be mermaids, odd jobs and a new career (which has interesting gameplay in a higher branch), sunbathing, more open areas for swimming, some local events, sandcastles, boats and using the new aqua zips and the Kava bowl. Locals will bring you extra food and can come if your lot has a fire to help. If any of that interests you it is on sale.
I've enjoyed Uni and don't regret buying it at it's release price. About what I would expect from any Uni pack and as per usual the majority of the pack pertains to that world that it comes packaged with. With your sims, you'll definitely be managing them and their time with classes, term papers and presentations. Organizations you don't really have to show up to or get penalized when you join thankfully, but I found it pretty difficult to find some time inbetween to join in. Joining the e-sports my sim was always tired inbetween and living off a lot of quick meals and/or pizza. :#
There are no active classes, but there are events on campus you can participate in as well as organization events.
Three new careers. Education, Engineering, and Law.
Two new skills: Research & Debate and a Robotics skill which wraps into making Servos.
The most interesting feature for me has been the roommate system. Since you can use it outside of Uni and your sim can just have roommates that pay rent to your sim. Put up an ad and potential roommates will come by or just ask a sim that you already know to be your roommate. Also your sim can go to school from home if you don't want them to live on campus so it's not just locked out to the world.
CAS has been real amazing. I really love the clothes for this pack.
I'd say it's worth it if you wanted to add another step for immersion for your sims to be going to school. Without it you have the roommate system, the careers, CAS and build/buy (which includes bathroom stall now, the keg, and juice pong table), and the two new skills.
