Does anyone have any tips for incorporating university into legacy play? I have a sim I want to put through the robotics stream at university since I haven't done that one before, but I still want to play my main family and younger siblings. Normally I just skip and cheat the degree because it takes so long to earn one, but this time I actually want to play it.
Should I keep the sim who's attending uni at home? Or move him in and rotate game play? Like play him for a week at uni and then the family? Not sure how to go about this!
Thanks for any advice!

If you want also to play the rest of the family then you can do it rotationally as you suggest. Switching households after turning in all work for the term, but before choosing classes for the next term, is easiest.
You could also turn off aging while at university- many people do this since university does take a disproportionate amount of the lifespan anyway, and it would solve your problem of not wanting the rest of the family to continue their lives without you.
I feel like trying to play the university student living at home with the family would end up causing you to miss a lot of the main family's life anyway, since you'll be on campus so much with all the robotics stuff.
These tips are great things to keep in mind for next time!

I guess if they don’t have too many classes you can switch back and forth from them and the rest of the household but generally you’re going to miss things for both parties.
Maybe just turn aging off the household while the sim goes to university and you give them your full focus is the best - otherwise I think you have to do it from home really.
It is possible to have multiple sims living in a dorm. I have played two sims going through uni at the same time while living in a dorm. You have to enroll one sim and move him/her into a dorm and then immediately switch to the second sim to enroll.
I had this problem a lot, make sure your sims have about 3-4 points in the relevant skills before you enroll, the distinguished degrees especially are skill based. Having a few skill points in logic, gardening and fitness for example will usually guarantee you a spot in the biology subject (those are the skills that course focuses on)
Yeah pretty much this. Just make sure ALL of the sims have their acceptance letters ready to go and have only to just choose their major. That way you can just enroll them one after the other and add them all to the same dorm, AND it will keep all their classes in sync.
