COULD DEFINITELY
I don't like my sims being forced to live on campus to attend uni.
Really living in halls and away from home is part of the experience for a lot of people. I don’t know how it is in the US but in the UK people that live out (unless they are local) are often looked down on unless there are other factors at play they are a myinoraty
I think you're missing what I'm saying here. I don't want my sims to be FORCED to live on campus. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be optional.
Btw, I have friends who have attended uni in the UK, and they have not lived on campus, they lived in flats. I've got a friend currently in the UK, attending uni, and living on her own, with her cat, in a flat.
Here in Australia, it's very rare for anyone to live on campus, the few dorms we do have are rarely even on campus, and are usually only for international students, or the occasional first year student from the country, after first year, they usually move into a share-house with friends. Most people attend their first year or two of uni from their family home. Why waste money on a dorm when you can sleep in your own bed, and eat from your parents fridge?
I think its a culture difference.In the USA most universities are located far away from home.My best friend college is three hours away .
Most people in the UK go to university in different towns or cities, very few students want to live at home with their parents. Still very little on-campus accommodation though.
Also, unlike the US (from what I can gather), most universities in the UK are located in the very centre of our cities, though not always. The university in my city is very central, and hence most students live central too. The drinking age is 18 here so most students want to live in places with loads of bars and clubs - a huge, huge, huuuuge part of student life here revolves around drinking (for better or worse).
