Can I delete a university in game?

I'm assuming this resets the dorms (removing non-playable residents) and avoids the issue of non-playable dormies thinking they live in a dorm at a uni that no longer exists, making them show up normally in the new uni. Is this right?
Yup, that's what it does.

Thanks for the advice. I was worried that deleting the uni might delete the sims ......
fyi - It wouldn't have deleted the sims. When you delete any sub-hood, playables just get dumped in the simbin. You need to clean up potential messes though, like dormies in dorms or owned businesses in a sub-hood.

That's really good to know actually, I might consider deleting the downtown in that neighbourhood then since I never use it!

Actually, I don't think the game will let you do that. Once you assign a downtown, a bunch of special sims are added to your hood (downtownies, Grand Vampires, Mrs. Crumplebottom, etc). Since they're restricted to downtown, they won't end up in your regular hood if you delete it. So the game just won't let you delete the last downtown.
Same with universities -- once you add them, you have to have at least one left in the game. You can't delete the last one.
If you never use the downtown, it's not really harming anything to leave it there ignored. Maybe it increases your hood loading time by 30 seconds. :)

I guess you could get rid of the Downtown by uninstalling Nightlife, but I've no idea what sort of mess that would leave behind. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should! I downloaded a hood with uni and downtown when I only had base game and OFB. The main hood loaded with all the playables from the downtown and uni in the simbin. I wasn't that worried about causing problems, I just wanted to see what it looked like as best I could.
If it's adding to the loading time, deleting lots might help. That's safer than deleting sims. As long as they aren't owned businesses that is....
