I am saying 3's because I felt it had the most impact on my Sims' lives outside of school, but I really liked 2's as well. I very much understand the feeling of university life being a sectioned off from normal life, so I never minded that, and they were interesting for a change of pace.
I don't hate 4's DU. It is solid enough beyond the pathing problems. However, I do have a bone to pick with the grading system. 3's could be finicky, too, and 4's is fairly realistic, but I hate having to guess about my Sims' performance. There should never be a case where my Sim attended all classes/did homework but ended up with an unexpected D in one class and As in all the others because I happened not to notice (s)he was habitually late to one in particular. Yes, realistic, but even when you micromanage you have to be incredibly observant just in case something does happen. A very simple UI keeping me updated on the individual grades or progress bar could have fix this. Not to mention, I still find it kind of odd to have usual neighborhood foot traffic on campus. What are all my 5 star celebrities doing hanging around the dorms?
I suppose my main problem with DU in particular is it sometimes feels unfair in ways the other Uni EPs weren't, especially when you are doing larger households. I find it the most realistic, but that doesn't by necessity make it the most fun.
