Magic College
I was thinking about how I could create a College of Magic in the upcoming(?) Uni pack.
If we get the normal Uni world, our sims will take classes while living in dorms, Greek houses or rentals. If there are enough lots, I could create a University of Magic classroom building where students studying magic would go, sort of like a magic lab. I could have my own sage teach it to students at cauldrons. There could be a library for magical studies and a dueling arena.
On another lot, I could create a magic Greek house for students studying magic that would want to live together. Outside, the buildings would blend into the other Uni buildings and Greek houses, but inside, they would look very different.
Or I might make the classroom building and the Greek house the same building, similar to the magic HQ, but with sleeping chambers for students. I'm still fleshing it out. During the day, they would still attend "muggle" classes, but go back to the magic dorm for magical studies.

In TS2 (maybe TS3 too, I'm not sure, I skipped the University pack for that one) you could have all of those ideas (minus the magic elements) if I remember correctly (which also may be a bit muddled as it was so many years ago), but you did have a separate world, and you had student dorms and greek houses you could live in if you had enough friendships high enough with the members to be allowed to join. These mechanics though could most definitely lend to these ideas the OP posted here. What we will actually get with TS4 though, no one knows just yet.
The magic aspect comes from the fact that now, in any world, you can build a "Magic School" building (similar to the magic HQ) anywhere you want, in any world you want. I would choose teens that want to practice and learn more magic, move them into the Magic School to live, learn and be taught by a live-in Sage (similar to Miss Peregrine's only for college age sims). They would still take college courses but learn magic in their down time.
I read a comment yesterday that said you could not. I really hope this is amended in a later patch. I will be looking for a mod that allows both cauldrons and stoves at some point.
Cauldrons are technically labelled as cooking stoves, so...
