bringing money home from uni

My YAs appear to leave their (private) dorms and return home with their proportionate share of the household income at the time they left campus, plus the standard $20K. I.e. Abigayle Montrose returned to her hood with $36,000 in her bank account, while Cody Swan had $27,500. While both were on the dean's list, Abigayle had more roomies than Cody.
When they graduated, was anyone left behind in the dorm or was it emptied out? My kid had 5 roommates, 2 of whom have graduated and only got the standard $20k when they went back to Strangetown. So I am wondering now if you'll only take the surplus money home if you're the last one to graduate and you leave the lot empty behind you. And I have to leave a placeholder there for various reasons after all the kids graduate.
I guess I'm just going to take the money home in inventory statues to be safe, but I'm still curious as to how the game calculates this number.
Venusy:
Here's how the game calculates it:
If you do not have no20khandouts installed: everyone gets 20K, regardless of how much they should get.
If you do have no20khandouts installed: everyone gets a proportional share of the money (I'm not sure if this calculation includes dormies, or if it's just playable sims).
Gwill:
Dormies are not included in calculation, only playable members of the household.

I never leave any private dorm empty. At least one playable YA is always in residence and I rotate my play so there's always some teen in the background, waiting to go to Uni. I will admit I've never bothered to track the household wealth of each dorm, but am pretty certain that all my graduates have more than $20K when they land back in the neighborhood. I have a couple more who just graduated and are hanging around their dorms; will make it a point to note their bank accounts when I move them back to the hood. BTW, I don't have no20khandouts.

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.
