University too hard/no fun ?

I find a lot of frustration in the game play of UNI.. Which in return has made only about 3 of my sims actually complete college. Unfortunately, even with taking the max of 4 credits per term and entering college the day you age up to a Young Adult, you are in college the entire length of being a YA. And as you stated, they attend classes and are doing homework/term papers/etc the entire time they're home and even then they might not get things done (and in return not pass the class) depending on your sims personality and needs. I personally liked the style they had in TS2 much better where you had the option to attend after you completed your teenage years and then you aged as a Fresh/Soph/Jr/Senior. I think the courses and work wasn't as time consuming and you had a lot more time to enjoy the "college lifestyle".. Also - it didn't take away from your actual Adult years to attend university, it was simply a lifeline of it's own.. Maybe they can offer an update for UNI where as a teenager you can gain college credit while attending highschool if you're an A student?? And in return maybe you then would only need 4-8 credits in UNI to complete your degree instead of 12??
