My opinion on Uni is a little bit biased because the game has glitched or what have you and my character ended up getting flunked out for cheating he didn't commit.
On overall scheme of things, University is simply a stepping stone for sims and should be treated as such. Once you graduate, it has little further use for you EXCEPT for the ability to train skills for a small fee. This feature is awesome!
University is very self-contained. You must go there and actually live in the dorm to get full value out of it. This self contained nature is a good thing.
The bad thing about it is that it doesn't work well with other expansions and game pack. Case in point - vampire will not have to deal with half of the issues that arise on the campus and thus will have more time for studies, potentially rendering many challenges moot. You don;t even need to be that powerful as a vampire.
Student organizations are a questionable feature, at least for me.
Robotics skill relies too much on forced damping in order to make it last longer.
All in all, if I have to pick one favorite thing - it'll be skill courses. Awesome addition to the game. Lease favorite thing will be relative irrelevance of the actual university. Basically, you're going there for the dorm. University is an afterthought.
