@stilljustme2, @marcel21, i guess since I have yet to go to college I just don't understand the excitement of it, haha! I played with university in TS3 only once and it was pretty... dull. Boring. Not much to do. Moved back to family gameplay in two hours. Maybe that'll change in a few years when i actually experience college in real life.

For many younIg people, university is their first time away from home and their parents control. There are also often expanded job opportunities with university -- many careers these days require a university degree unless you're doing something like driving a bus (my husband's career before he retired) or manual labor. Even clerical work which I did before my retirement sometimes requires a degree, while when I started they just wanted people who could type accurately and relatively fast. Times do change....

I'd like to see a University pack that doesn't put so much emphasis on the party aspect and more on the actual education. A combination of rabbit hole classes and study outside the classroom (using a form of the work from home careers in CL) could provide a more fulfilling experience. That doesn't mean that it's going to be a grindfest -- there should be plenty of extracurricular activity. With the world structure of Sims 4, you could have Sims who commute to college from their home world (choose to travel with them or send them on their own similar to the GTW structure) -- good for older Sims who might be going for a career change or to get a promotion. Or you could move your entire household to the University world, so you're focusing on your entire household not just one lone Sim.
