Yes your Sim will age if you have ageing on. You can turn it off until you are ready to graduate. I have my settings on the longest lifespan +28 days in the year so I don't mind so much if Sims age while in Uni but I also reserve the choice of halting aging if I feel it needed.
If you mean by benefits how much social life your Sim will be able to have, well. It depends on how quickly you want them to finish and how well a grade you want them to have. You can enroll them with only one course a term if you want which gives them plenty of time for fun. My Sims average with 2-3 courses a term and one Sim of mine is juggling 2 courses and 2 organizations (the debate team and the Britechester cheer squad) and is doing quite well keeping up her grades. I expect her not to get less then A- in each courses.
Thanks for confirmation @Stina1701A ! The overall benefit of going to University (aside from just the experience of it) is a jump start in career, correct? I'm just wondering if the number of days it takes to get a degree actually makes that jump start worth it...I find early promotions easy to obtain in 2 days of work.
You start anywhere from around level 6 to 9 depending on your grades.
You so get a signing bonus or several thousand sjmoleons, as well as double the pay and double the vacation time. You also get the added skills from taking classes appropriate to your degree.
It's definitely worth it, just be sure to turn aging off.
