Could Realm of Magic and University connect?

The fact that the four types are reffered to as "The Schools of Magic" makes me think that University could include a second, smaller campus available only for spellcaster sims if players have the RoM pack. Sims 2 came with more than one campus so I believe it's possible for the Sims Team to include both a regular and a magic school.

I very much doubt it, only because they tend not to have their DLC interact all that much. In part to avoid "DLC for DLC" accusations, but also because they just try to focus only on how any packs interact with the base game, and not with each other (even when... they should really check... how the packs interact with each other >.>)
Unless they went wayyyyyyy different for a school pack, and school were sort of player-built, with players being able to "add" schools and set what skills they focus on and stuff - in which case they might be intentionally opening the door for a build-your-own-Hogwarts, but that would be a new direction for an education pack, so is entirely in "baseless wild speculation" territory.
This EA account is shared between two longtime roommates. The one most likely to be writing here is me, the taller of the roommates, whose opinions do not always represent the opinions of the shorter roommate.
In the live stream yesterday the gurus said "schools of magic" but also tried to correct themselves to say "styles of magic." Kinda like how sim guru ninja mispronounced "familiar" as "fermiliar" to the point where sim guru romeo believed that "familiar" was a word meaning similar and "fermiliar" was the mystical pet that follows your spellcaster around (nope, they're both "Familiar"). Also, romeo accidentally called configurable stairs "spiral stairs" by mistake (which lead some to speculate that EA is working on spiral stairs, but I disagree). My point is, in the stream they said A LOT OF THINGS, many of them were slips of the tongue.
The use of the word "School" doesn't mean University will be directly related to ROM. However, I assume University will be customizable enough that your university can look like Hogwarts.

My First Pet Stuff is useless unless you have the Pets EP. Perhaps they could have a Magic School/Education gamepack released in the future that adds onto University and allows us to follow kids and teens to school
That would be perfect for an Education EP. Its what I'm hoping for even if it's unlikely, as it would allow us to build any kind of school just as we can build any kind of restaurant or retail lot.

That'd be a cool idea. Though I'd doubt they would do that since simmers complain about any and everything. They'd be shouting "DLC for a DLC!?" again. Lol.
I'd love this but .. I hate to say it like this cause I play this game a lot and I love it, but well, it is a TS4 EP. And TS4 EPs just don't come that packed with content - let alone cross-pack content. But if they did do this, I'd hug them to pieces
Yess! I was wondering about this too - a "make your own school" pack would be so neat. Where you could create your own courses using all the features from all the stuff we have. A gardening school, a magical school, a vampire school, a cooking/restaurant school, an arts school for painters/writers/photographers/actors, .... ahhh the possibilities xD Again, I doubt it, but I think we'd all love it!
