My tips for University (spoilers, I guess), feel free to expand the list

• I prefer to enroll on Monday and start classes on Tuesday. That gives me a few hours on Monday to get Tuesday's homework done. I do the rest of the classwork as I go along. I can still use the weekend to finish term papers and presentations if needed but I can also use the weekend to party if everything's done.
  
• Living off campus makes it much easier to get to class on time, even if you're living in Gibbs Hill (the town between the two universities).
  
• Other things you might want to take to a dorm: tent, inflatable double bed, portable shower, stack of gifts, microphone, musical instruments, portable bar.
  

• Monday works fine, but it's a matter of play style (neither I, nor my Sims really care for parties all that much). If you do three or more classes per semester not having that first weekend to get a head start is really annoying (to me). That's one of the reasons I restarted (I failed to keep up and got an F).
  
• Living off campus is a very good option, but it also negates about 30% of what the pack has to offer, really. Living in a dorm is such a vital part of the atmosphere to me.
  
• I was thinking afterwards that grabbing a bar would be a quick way to earn a few bucks. Just attend the bar in the dorm.
