I played university students in Sims 2, 3, and 4, and to me, Sims 4 really nailed it.

If there is anything else you want to know, I will try to answer. :)

Wowee, thanks for all the advice! I played a lot of the Sims 3 university - and I appreciate the advice to only have one sim attend Uni at a time - however, I'm mainly just kind of asking how the heck you get more than 1 sim to attend (in my case, 3 at once) university off campus at the same time. When I got one person to enroll, it simply presented me with the "Move out sims" screen and the prospect of splitting up my family just kind of bothered me, especially when in the sims 3 the family split and then rejoined after college just fine. Just the whole idea of the household splitting made me a little uneasy lol. Is that just how it is in this pack? 1 sim moves out and lives off campus, or everyone attends from home?

This pack is more of a "One Sim At a Time" thing. Which is why I strongly suggest to pause aging when playing it. I know a number of Youtube Simmers immediately tried to have sibling couples and whatnot try to enroll at the same time and quite frankly it's a bad idea.
Better to just pause aging and leave the one sibling hanging until the four weeks or so have passed, then switch roles.

(I pause aging anyway, since YA is my favorite life stage and I don't want to "lose" any time of it).

I also play with YA's and aging paused, always have. Okay, I get that sending multiple to uni at a time is a bad idea - But I don't even know how you do it! If it's a bad idea, I wanna experience it - i have no idea how to send multiple Sims to live at uni at the same time! lol

Everyone got an acceptance letter, I go enroll, and if I wanna live in a dorm, one sim gets evicted to go live at uni and that's a bit distressing to me because I don't wanna split up my household
