Even if I stick to my 3-4 legacy sims, they're all differently skilled in terms of being creative v logic. So they're a mix of socially challenged & genius archetype geek/nerds (Foxbury) and popular social butterflies (Briechester). So it's not possible for all my child turned YA sims to graduate with distinguished degrees unless I split up the family. :disappointed:
But if they all live in one household, they can attend different universities- they just need to be living in a residential lot that’s not a dorm.
You said earlier…

It's virtually impossible to progress your 4-6+ Brady Bunch household in the 2 Uni school setup. So if some of your big sim family are geeks v. social butterflies, you're screwed. Any sandbox goals to give your geek & social butterfly sims the best career starts is insanely challenging. Because it's practically impossible to keep your Tech & Liberal Arts major sims in superior academic standing when you're busy switching between the schools. So they'll end up flunking out of their distinguished degree programs. Because the game stagnates sim degree progression once you switch between Unis. Where's the bloody *headdesk* smiley when you need it??? >:)
When/why are you switching between unis? Because you want them to live in a campus neighborhood and sometimes you load the other one?
Splitting up the household is kind of the only way around this problem if you want to live on campus and have access to the quad all the time. Otherwise you’re essentially “splitting up the household” by leaving some on a different lot while you play the others. I usually play 4 sims at uni at a time and I try not to let them travel individually because yeah, leaving some behind wastes their time and time can be precious at uni.
Maybe I’m still missing something but I hope you can find ways to enjoy it for what it is. You might want to try a mod that lowers the classes required for graduation if that helps you juggle different households without feeling like it prolongs an already long process.
