Question about multiple universities
MadameUgly:
Aside from having different decor (and maxis made playables) is there any reason to have multiple universities (say one of each of the maxis made ones) attached to a neighborhood?
I really want all the maxis made uni students to eventually circulate through my build a city challenge 'hood but not if attaching multiple universities is a Very Bad Thing (or if it's just a redundant waste of character files, with uni NPC folks being the same in each uni). I can always just clone the maxis made playables using simPe and re-create them (and only have one uni for the neighborhood).
For the record, I have all the "noregen" type hacks (found in the director's cut) and I have all EPs and SPs except Ikea.
Thanks.

It's not a VBT, but yes, the same uni dormies will appear in each uni hood. I don't think they spawn duplicates of the same dormies, if that's what you're asking - the same dormies will just show up on all the different campuses. They may spawn additional (but unique) dormies if you marry some out/move all your sims into high-density dorms, though this is true with just one uni hood as well. I'm not sure if just the act of creating an additional uni hood will spawn more dormies.
I have all three for my own purposes - I pretend they are different loosely-affiliated colleges of the same area, with slightly different tuition rates and course offerings. It's slightly annoying when a dormie last seen living in a dorm on Campus A starts rooming on Campus B, but then again it's weird that they don't ever age, too.
MadameUgly:
I'm ok with seeing the same dormie faces in each university. I was just concerned about conserving character files wherever possible. Since it's a build a city challenge neighborhood, there will be a high number of playable sims (and the challenge is long). I just want to do everything possible to prevent the neighborhood from dieing before I finish the challenge.
And a rather dumb question (which I think I know the answer to but need clarification).
Is the uni student bin shared between the three universities? So any sim (from the neighborhood) who ends up in the bin will show up in any of the uni's until I place them?

Yes. In fact, I think the Maxis playables that come in the bin will show up in all three unis as well.
DrNerd:
Each uni spawns its own unique set of Dormies. If you add all three unis, you'll end up with three complete sets of Dormies, SS members, Streakers, the whole bit. You can delete the subhoods, if you don't want to have three uni subhoods, and the Dormies will migrate to whatever Uni is left.
The Bin Sims do get shared between the subhoods.
