    A seperate world like we have had previously. Sims live there entire run of Uni.
    Having University be it's own world like in previous generations of the game would be my choice.

    > Yes! Uni clubs are a big deal here. They're how you meet with people outside of the course you're doing. You don't even have to be a uni student to join most of them, former students often return, year after year, to pay their membership, and remain in a role of mentor to the new members.

    Add lots like Get To Work where no matter where your Sims live, they’ll all load up in the same Uni. The world would still provide new locations. Sims could still live at home and go each day.

    wow. I guess that makes all our unis prestigious.

    If you don't get high enough marks to get in, you have to go the long way, attend a senior school, do year 13, try again. Or attend TAFE, use it as a stepping stone. Or do a bridging course.
    In Australia, technical and further education aka TAFE is like a cross between community college and trade school.

    Each country has it's own way of doing things. For many of us, the way the US does things is very alien.

    It's part of the university experience being on a campus. For that to work with a game using loading screens you need a separate world.
    I no longer use Origin or My Page. You can find me on YouTube or Twitter as Bettyboop711000. You are welcome to contact me as I explore options for a PC sandbox life simulation game.
    Wherever I am friends call me Betty

    Considering I hope that if we get this EP it's an overhaul of the education/schooling system, I really want my sims to be able to live at home while going to school. Maybe have the worlds more like vacation spots, so you have to pay for your semester but eventually you go back. That way the rest of the family isn't just stuck in time either.

    I also really want like post-grad classes and night school. Most people I know don't just get their BA or BS and hop into the workforce.

    I'd like to have it similar to Sims 2 where we had a choice of different universities and they should be able to attend university at any age (Teen to Elder)

    Sure, for classes and socialising, but then you go home at the end of the day.

    Yep, being able to live at home is more realistic for many players outside of the US.

    And as you've pointed out, you can continue to play with the rest of their family.
    There are a lot of people who have kids, and still attend uni irl, so why can't this be included as an option in the game? Let your sims live at home, or send them to live on campus, we need the option of choices.
