bringing money home from uni
veilchen:
I wish I could help, but I usually just use Monique's computer to deposit any monies that are due my simmies at move out. I never differentiated between dorms, greek-houses, or private houses. I calculated what they made/earned and deposited it into their bank account. When they returned, all they had to do was get another Monique computer and withdraw their deposits. Often I just left it in, because after depositing 1000+ they usually got interest. Not all that much, but it helped a little for the start-outs.

If you do not have no20khandouts installed: everyone gets 20K, regardless of how much they should get.
Hm... don't they get 20k as a minimum ? I'm pretty sure my YAs brought home more than 20k long before I discovered no20khandouts ???. I have to add, though, that my sims used to have their own houses instead of living in a dorm, no idea if this makes a difference.
I don't have no20k handouts. In a home/dorm with more than one playable and, say $2k in the bank (I generally start a house or dorm every round, so I'm decorating) each graduate gets 20k. Doesn't really matter for me because in Queen's Cove, I roll for how much they get to start a house with and that amount would be adjusted regardless. In my apoc, I had him sell all the dorm furnishings in the end and he had $39k in the coffers..$39k in the sim bin in Dark Side of the Moon. One playable in that dorm, thirteen dormies.

I am uncertain why you would ROLL how much money that they get. It doesn't work that way in real life, either. Graduating college doesn't magically give you more money from the ether, after all.
Zazazu:
Because I roll everything. ;D
Neh, I roll it, then take the money from the parents, like a graduation gift. Some families bankrupt themselves to give their kids a new life. Some are stingy and give them very little so they appreciate the struggle their parents went through.
jolrei:
I do something similar to Veilchen - I note what my graduate has upon graduation and then adjust it, either in SimPE or using Insim's budget adjuster. This means that I have never had a uni student (who after all has spent all his/her time studying, hustling pool, and chasing other sims of one or more genders around campus) with more than about S7000 (and that's if tipping was good when he played jazz piano or something). If the sim wants a house, he/she has to depend on money orders from mum and dad.
Hmmm. Sounds like I should probably take another look at the RTFM for "no20Khandouts".
