Why is the University "year" so short?

I find the length of it just fine, personally. Any longer and I would go bonkers. LOL I have a tendency to have my Sims do back-to-back terms and just get it over with. This last (and only my second time through) I had five YAs in the same dorm, in the same uni, Go Britechester-U! It was quite a challenge, juggling all five, along with my Global Superstar keeping up with his concerts and the Paparazzi invading the privacy of his dorm room. :open_mouth: But we made it. LOL My Sims and me and I'm no worse for the wear. (I also followed some advice another player gave, and I turned off aging for the duration.) I play on Long, but even so most of their YA time is eaten up.
Also, if you look at it this way, a Sim gives birth in three Sim days. In RL it takes nine months. Hence, a Sim Day = 3 months in RL. A term in uni is 7 week days which by the same calculation would equal 21 months. In the long run that's longer than in RL, but it's possible they come out with more than a mere BA. Could be they earn their Masters or higher?
