I am fed up of how long it takes my sim to get from his dorm to class each time . If i leave it until i get the message an hour before the class then invariably he doesn't arrive until at least an hour after the class has started .
He will never use his bike to go to class preferring every time to jog there .
Then the bikes are horrendous if i can him to use it at any time ,
Get the bike out , get on it rider a bit , get off , put it on its stand , put it in his inventory , go up stairs , get bike out , get on it , ride into the dorm , appear in the dorm still sat on his bike , get off the bike , put it on its stand , get back on bike , ride to table to get some food , get off bike , put it on stand , put it in inventory .
Did Maxis actually game play this pack , it doesn't seem so
I guess in a way its better he jogs to class as it actually takes longer coming home on his bike
My last point is you can tell its coded for american players
I started him with 4 classes a term , they are not 4 classes they are 4 subjects and 12 classes .
Needless to say he failed baldy the first term , then i find out that's not the end of his Uni , he then has to sign up for more terms or loses his sponjsorship

My sim finally figured out taking the actual path around was faster on her bike. Surprised really as it was put there for sims on bikes to have better access same with around that gymnaisum.
I found setting the bike in their inventory as their favorite they'll always opt to use it.
I think we should atleast know which building has what class.
I haven't tried it yet but my suggestion would be to get the wellness skill if it's a human sim and teleport. Or fly as a bat if vampire. Broom if spellcaster. Or just use the cheat to slowdown time for sims. Either through mccc command or the cheat EA provided to slow the milliseconds.
I have not played in regular sim time for years because it speeds by so fast I never have time for anything. This way I am able to get things done without stress. And I have no doubt they can make it to class this way.
Yes, there are two buildings
This kind of stuff happened in Sims 3. And it's one of the reasons I think (and sort of hope) we wouldn't get cars in Sims 4. Given other issues the game has had (umbrellas anyone?), I saw this coming.
When I eventually get this pack, I'll know not to use bikes.
I tried leaving the game without saving, but that didn't work either.
She now lives in her own house, but for the first term she lived in Tidal Towers dorm. I never just let her 'go to class,' I sent her using the above method. However, she did have two classes only five minutes apart in different buildings. I resorted to using the 'teleport here' method for the second class just so she'd make it on time. She was only a few minutes late for her first class the first time and it didn't hurt her grade, she ended up with an A+
Concerning how to know where each class is held, you'll need to click on the classroom buildings and choose 'Office Hours' during the hours of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., weekdays. It'll tell you in the pop up which classes are held in that building. If your Sim has a class at the beginning of term that happens before 11 a.m., you'll just have to guess and then check while they're in class once it rolls around to 11 a.m., unfortunately. I don't know of any other way to find out.
Something I noticed though, at least for my Sim, in Foxbury, all her regular classes were in one building (the shorter one) and every elective was held in the other taller building with the waterfall next to it. Maybe the class designations are also set up that way in UBrite too? I can't say since I haven't had a Sim take classes there yet. but in Foxbury, this has been true for all 12 classes for my Sim. She's just started her last 3 classes before graduation.
I hope this helps someone. I agree that the class locations should've been made easier to find or given along with their schedule and put names on the classroom buildings visible when hovering over them. That would've made so much more sense. I guess perhaps they wanted to make it a challenge for our Sims since a lot of Simmers believe this game is too easy to play? I don't know... *shrugs*
You should be able to check each Sims' class schedule. Mostly, mine would take off for class in order to get there ahead of time. The only time I had one who was late, ( I never did understand just what his problem was) but I had to keep sending him to class. Finally, he got there but he then left early! Guess my Sim has a mind of his own and decided to cut class. Unfortunately, he got a much lower grade than he would have had he just gone to class and take notes, like normal. In the end it brought his GPA down. Face/palm.
