@elanorbreton I haven't put a sim through university but I wish to have them living with roommates but not on campus. I take it from your post that it is possible but how do you go about it?
I also play rotationally so can you rotate after a sim completes a term with no consequences?
Yes, you can with a caveat. You can't leave a Sim in the beginning or a middle of a term unless you want bad or even a failing grade. They don't do their studies if you aren't around.
The way I do it and learnt here on this forum is that I enroll them early on saturday morning (I prefer that so I can get a bit of a headstart on homeworks and other things) and IF they live in a dorm or a university housing I play the whole week through except on a friday, I save and exit completely before 5pm. That way you aren't forced to enroll again because that causes your Sim to go through next term without you and they will get a failing grade. If you are going to play them for more than one term you just play through and enroll them again after the term and play them through the week, but remember, if you want to leave that household to the next one. Better to wait till friday and leave before 5pm.
Now, if you live at home you can stay past 5pm when the term ends with no conseqences as long as you don't enroll again. Not enrolling will just put your Sim's studies on hold until you are ready to play that household again and enroll him or her back into their studies. The reasons you can't do that with university housing, that is not enroll your Sim, is that you have to move said Sim(s) out of the university housing into normal housings.
That works well for me. That being said. I had 2 Sims in dorm living in my game that I sent home for summer holidays after their terms. I have been playing with University bound Sims all winter (Sim seasonal winter that is) and it is now spring in my game so, the two Sims I have in university and living in dorms are now either at home or in a home where they work as a housekeeper/babysitter and they will stay there until late fall or early winter rolls over.
