What was your chosen degree and university?
I only sent 2 sims to university. They both went to Britchester. One played soccer. My girl went for a language and communications distinguished degree. My boy went for a engineering degree but did no...

My first Sim, the eldest offspring in the household received an athletic scholarship, but I had him study from home. Silly me. I wanted to be able to control the rest of the household, which really wasn't working out so well despite my efforts. The Dad kept accusing his eldest of cheating (to which I can attest, no he wasn't). I next sent the second child to Britechester to live in a dorm. I had fun and realized this was the best way to explore uni. I did send Erik home after his first term, but mostly because he went from Rising Star to Global Superstar while at uni. I wanted him to be able to place his frame. Now, I realize that the worlds not loading was due to an allegedly updated mod, that isn't working well with the latest EP. So, since I had no clue how or if I could send them both back to Britechester, I ended up creating a brand new game save using this same family to start anew, if you will. This time I aged up the four teens, one at a time, leaving a Sim day in between them to keep their birth order. The day before I aged them up I had them apply for a scholarship. I have since learned you can scroll through to see which degree matches which future career. This time I made a better selection, knowing up front what I wanted for each of them.
Aaron wasn't as skilled as he had been in the previous game save, having played him longer and having this copy from My Library. He started with the basic skills I gave him, via MCCC. Disappointing he didn't snag the Athletic Scholarship, but I think he did get the one for Brindleton Bay. At any rate, he got one. It took a couple of days for him to receive the news, but that's okay, because I had three other Sims to age up. By the time I got to number four, I was antsy to get them to uni and start the gameplay I envisioned while awaiting this EP to be released.
I recalled a cheat another player had posted. Happily, I wrote it down, and found the paper I wrote it on. (This is a huge feat in and of itself, mind you.) For Aaron, I chose History. In previous saves after he grew up he went into the military. I'm still of the belief, this is where he's headed.
For Erik, who got the Future Star scholarship, I chose Fine Art (which is really Fine Arts with an 's' if EA is listening). He's currently a B-Lister.
Joey, Jr., who is a bonafide genius, I selected the biology degree since he's going to be a physician. I'm troubled that he has to have just a basic degree, when his older brothers get the snazzy ones.
Brianna, I chose Physics. She's a scientist in my book (no, I'm mean in my book, see my siggie). Basically, she's also the A & A officer. (Anthropology and Archaeology.) The kids are just finishing up their very first term at uni. I think so far they did well. Joey still has to make his presentation and Bree has another day before the term is up.
