Just to add, the Get To Work approach could also still provide a seperate neighbourhood for Dorms, like Get To Work provided as well.
But we could build our own Dorms anywhere.
How should University work world wise? 299 votes
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.
Add a new Residential world, that we can use for Uni (with Dorms etc) but we can repurpose it as a normal residential world if we want.
A seperate world like we have had previously. Sims live there entire run of Uni.

Having the ability to switch it up and build different buildings in different worlds would just provide variety for me.
Plus I can still build Dorms in the new world

Option #1 is also a terrible idea. Commuter schools make sense in real life as some people only go to college for degrees. For a game it’s all about the fun part of being in college. Living in dorms and fraternity/sorority houses is a huge part of the traditional college experience and they are absolutely a must have.
I hear you, which is why I said they could still provide a hood or two for a new place to build Dorms, but they could also build Dorms in any world. So it would still work like Uni.
In the real world, most people live in housing accommodation providing by Universities outside of the actual University. I know of of several where I live and the Uni is on the other side of town.
The first one, I would imagine they would also have a world that was very Uni focused.
For example, I wish that the Get To Work lots were available to residential as well, even though they are obviously designed for public buildings. I would build a group of shops or even a corporate building turned residential house (there’s alot of them where I am).

Where I’m from it’s very common for schools to require all underclassmen, or at least freshmen to live on campus. Some small liberal arts colleges literally require everyone to live on campus (exceptions are only made for married students, non-traditional students, etc.). Schools with little to no on-campus housing are known as commuter schools and they’re typically far less prestigious.
I mean the public area of the neighborhood, a place we can't edit because Maxis don't want we break everything.
It could be a 5-lot home world with 1 Dormitory lot, 1 Fraternity lot, 1 Sorority lot and 2 University Hangout lots.
Dorms would be like Apartments, we couldn't modify the building.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI'd like to see an education pack that operates in a similar manner to Get to Work. Your sims attend their classes, and then they go home. It could operate slightly differently to GTW, in that it could include an education world, a town or suburb that has a primary school, a secondary school, a hands-on tertiary education facility, and a university. Perhaps it could have a lot containing a dorm, operating similar to CL apartments, but your sims shouldn't be required to live in the education world.
It's very unusual to live in a dorm in Australia, unless you're an international or first year rural student.
Almost all students live at home, or in share houses, off campus.
That is such a strange concept. Whats wrong with living at home, sleeping in your own bed, and not having to pay for an uncomfortable bed, in a strange place?
They're standard for Australia. No lack of prestige here.
Some unis here own houses that they lease to students as student housing. Share housing is a better way for students to learn to live in the real world, dorms are terrible for it.
I liked being able to come home between terms and going back when I was ready like in TS3.
TS2 University's senior year was torture.
I had to avoid Uni burnout by playing the parents for a while and inviting their son or daughter home.
There should also be a off-screen rabbit hole option for a local college where sims can go like they do with jobs.
This way you can still get an education if don't feel like doing the whole Uni thing and avoid being separated from the rest of the household.
Edit: Oh, sorry. I misread everything hahahahaaha XD
I think that it would be good if it worked like the Destination worlds. You can only go there if you are a uni student ( or maybe a professor too? )
I think i can see how the rabbit holes could work in Sims 4. If they were place right in the meighborhood you are in, you would see your sim going inside the RH like in Sims 3, but if it were located in other neighborhood from the Uni World, youre Sims would just walk and dissappear as always, It could work, but i would love to see them in classes (impossible, tho).
But it would be great to have an option for distance education or to automate the education so you wouldn’t have to use the campus lots if you didn’t want to. I really didn’t enjoy playing through university with most sims in 2 or 3. I regretted buying them both times because it was just so boring to me. I typically just cheated degrees if I wanted sims to have a degree only job. I’m not sure I’ll even buy a uni pack this time unless it has a lot more to offer
I don't like the 3rd option it is to closed off and less options.
I envision a new world with different neighborhoods for different levels of education.
For example, one neighborhood would contain lots for a kindergarten for toddlers, a grade school for kids and a community play park in between.
Another with a high school for teens and a athletic field with various sports to play, basketball, track/hurdles, soccer, etc.
Another with college level buildings (the largest neighborhood) with dorms, fraternity/sorority houses, class room and labs building, gym, quad, etc (each it's own lot).
One for a boarding/military school and a neighborhood for residences for students to rent or teachers/professors to live.
