so at the moment a kid can do homeork projects and extra credit do you think that our sims will have to be a B/A* student to get in to the better older redbrich Russel group(Ivy Leage)style uni or will grades have no baring on where you go?

I wonder if one of the two Universities are easy to get into like you said.
I also wonder if all the majors will be available at both universities or if computer science and modern stuff will only be at Foxbury and art history and more classical major only at Britechester and then some majors available at both?
I am also hoping there are more than just the five majors they mentioned and that was the shortened list.
It would be amazing if they added like 3 or 4 subjects to the teens education, say math language, history and art and then how well you did in each affected which course you could do at the university instead of just relying on skills and traits. And then the teens and kids would write an exam at the end of the week and have 4 study books for the subjects to study for the exam in the week. Then you get like an A B C aggregate based on your grade average for the 4 subjects combined with homework and attendance. Maybe a gym grade based on your fitness as well.
I really dont think this would be too hard. The exam will be rabbit hole and part of school, all they need is 4 new study books and a system that calculates the grades after the exam. They have to build a system for the University entrance exam anyway.
😬 I doubt they fleshed out the pack that much. I’m just hoping for graduation and scholarships and even that sounds doubtful to be added....
I like the careers that are being added but I agree that I want a lot of majors if possible.
I'd also like to see a university or section of the university for artistic/writing/music/creative types. I have some of those. It would add complexity between those who go "the fame route" and those who study for later careers.
I do think the title is cheesy. That definitely seems like it is only for teens. It also does appear to be more US-focused with the mascots and intense rivalries. Rivalries do exist in other places but more subtly usually.
you have obvously never seen the Solent student's on a night out after we have won a football(soccer) game or somthing aganst Southamton uni
SOLENT TILL I DIE SOLENT TILL I DIE I THINK I AM I KNOW I AM SOLENT TILL I DIE
I'D RATHER BE A SOLENT THEN A C****
I'D RATHER BE A THICO THEN A C****
these 3 chants happend a lot on the CRAZY nights out back in my uni days.
And now that University is really coming, I'm hoping that your choice there impacts your chances of getting admitted to University, in addition to grades. (Homeschoolers might get into one easier and private schools the other. Or homeschooling is harder to get into both - price you pay for being able to control your kid's education - while private school makes it easier to get in to either, as a reward for spending the simoleans and having your kid come home tense more often.)
Interesting that the Red Brick universities are now seen as the posh ones, when initially they were sneered at as Not Oxbridge. But my understanding of British education is, admittedly, largely grounded in fiction from the first half of the 20th century.
I imagine grade will matter, but if they are following American admissions models, aptitude tests will carry nearly equal weight. And just as is isn't really easier to get admitted to MIT or Cal Tech than to Harvard or Princeton, I don't expect Foxbury will be The Sims Vocational Community College, just an equally elite school with a different focus.
