DU: How many classes is your sim taking?

I think my Sim is doing 2 classes and 1 elective for a total of 3. I haven't sent her to her first class yet. Going to see how that goes this weekend.

It's not random though?

I've only had one Sim take one class so far. I'm sure I'll try different combinations later on with different Sims. This Sim likes to take it easy and enjoy life while gaining an education.

I enroll in 3 classes per term. Either all of them are core courses, or two core courses and one elective. I play my game pretty realistically, so this made more sense to me because my sim can graduate in 4 terms which kind of emulates 4 years like a typical path to graduation of university in the states. Plus - my sim has joined the debate organization, the soccer team, and a club (GT) that is inspired by american fraternities and he still had time to maintain a GPA of A. It was a perfect balance.

4 classes always.

And just FYI for those of you that selected 3 classes and then put 3 classes and 1 elective in your comment, that means you're taking 4 classes per this poll.

The first sim I put through university started out with four courses his first term. At first I felt very overwhelmed, and despite finishing off that term with straight A's he had no social life to speak of and wasn't doing too hot overall. Second term I decided to tone it down a bit and picked two courses + one elective. But due to how hectic the first term was and I managed, the second term felt too empty since I was already in the mindset of a full course term. Third term I reverted back to four courses, but this time it was a breeze. His last term he only needed one credit to graduate so I also shoved him into the spirit corps, and he finally developed more of a social life.

His brother started out with three courses, but due to his scholarship he had to join the esports team on the side which was not so much hectic as it was annoying, poor thing only had Sundays off. I didn't re-enroll right away for the second term and he worked on his robotics skill on his own for a while before continuing his studies, without the esports scholarship. He finished his remaining terms in threes, and partook in robotics.

I'd say my happy medium is 3 courses (or 2+1 elective) if I'm also joining an organisation or have some sort of other activity on the side, otherwise I definitely prefer a full term.

3 and finish all the projects on the first day of the semester.

3 classes, but I have 2 sims attending. I actually think 2 would be best if you want to experience everything Uni life has to offer. I feel that I should also mention my sims are struggling, with the 3 classes...one of them is on academic probation lol

2 Classes. I tried 4 but was entirely TOO much work. Plus he had job so it left no time for anything else and he was ALWAYS tense or tired.

I just got the pack for Christmas so I've just barely dipped my toes into the pool of all DU has to offer. My first student started out Rags to Riches basically living in the Commons and Library. Once she hacked her way to a tidy bundle of simoleons, I had her apply for scholarships. She was awarded 2 of 3 and qualified for a Distinguished degree in Computer Science at Foxbury when accepted. She's currently living in a room by herself in the Tidal dorm with seven other all female dormmates.

So far she's only attended each class once so a long way to go yet. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. One of a few flies in the ointment is how other Sims are constantly pestering her to chat. I've resorted to locking her dorm room door to everyone, including her, just so she'll stay put and do her coursework and can hack in peace. o.O She has a bike, but I tell her to walk to class and so far she's made it on time or early to two, but a tiny bit late for one since two classes are scheduled only 5 minutes apart and in different buildings. Sheesh! How do they expect her to get there on time without cheating?

All the food her dormmates pull out of the bathroom mirror is annoying, they're all slobs, won't fix anything, constantly are dancing with the music on full blast and two of them play the violin at all hours. I've read that's realistic for a college dorm, but it seems a bit over-the-top to me. *shrugs*

Anyway, we'll see how it goes from here on out. I might just have her live off campus for the next semesters. Or rent out rooms in her own house if she can afford it by then. We'll see...

Happy Simming! <3
