I'm really unimpressed with the expansion pack, so far.
It's annoying and repeititive sending them to college, imho, and it takes forever. Don't try to do a lot with 8 students either you will go insane. Seems like they require so much more management than a family. :p Oh well, at least we get a nice canopy bed that gives better energy than anything in the original game lol.

I bought Uni the day after it was released and my then high school senior daughter said, "MOM!! you can't play that until after I've left for college or you won't let me go!" So I've just now made my first YA and started the college experience. The first day wasn't too impressive, but I never went so I guess I don't quite know what to expect. I guess I can only hope that my daughter doesn't go streaking or get eaten by a cowplant. Hopefully, they don't have cowplants in Missouri.

Agreement there; I've never played a Uni lot with more than two controllable students on it at once, and usually just one. When I move a Sim from the neighborhood to a dorm, I move them into a dorm that doesn't yet have any controllables. (Even with families I tend to go crazy if there are much more than four controllables; I know some people enjoy more than that, though, so quite likely there are people who like having 6 YAs at once in Uni. Shudder...)
But concentrating on just one or occasionally two students at once, I've found the University EP to be lots of fun.

Now see? I always play with eight controllable Sims in the dorms: Getting as many in and out as fast as possible being my theory. And I no longer send anyone to college that doesn't have at least an interest of seven or eight in school. I have to keep wondering why I even send anyone to college 'cuz I really don't so much fancy that aspect of the game at all... Then again, there's a lot of things about this game that make me wonder why I play sometimes. ;)

I find when I play with more sims in university it still takes longer because I have to pause every 2 seconds and micromanage the hell out of all of them because otherwise they're always doing something stupid. In University there's so many more distractions and they also are home on the lot a lot more than sims in the regular town generally are. I'm all for getting them through faster, but if I play with anymore than one or two sims on an off campus residential house with TwoJeffs hack to ban the damned cheerleaders, mascots, coaches and streakers, then I go completely nuts. :o
