It was good, but not great. August 6, 2006

This was my first time buying a Sims 2 expansion pack and I'm rather glad I waited and bought it at a surprisingly low price of $20. This expansion pack was fun and exciting while your sims are at college, but it gets dull after a while. The work you need in order to get a 4.0 average is fairly easy, but time consuming. The best strategy I found is to just meet up the required skills, attend class, type up one term paper (it boosts up your grade dramatically), and influence a person to do your homework. By then, you'll be ensured to have an A+.
But after a while, doing the same thing for the same semester is . . . well, boring.
One thing I also found odd is creating new college students 'cause they don't have any parents.
Anyway, the hours of gameplay trying to graduate is ridiculous. It's hard enough trying to maintain decent grades, but with the popularity aspiration (that my Sim had), she wanted a damn party every day. It's hard to keep up with a social life.
After graduating, however, it seems like your Sim never went to college at all. Sure, you had a major and everything, but it seems like it had no point.

I agree with the person before me. It's really exciting when you first get it, but after that it is soooooo boring! It takes so much time to play college I find it a chore. I want to graduate so that all of the new jobs will be avaliable (the new jobs are actuelly cool) but I don't want to suffer through college! I will say, however, that the new hairstyles, clothing, and jobs make up for all that, and although college is extremely tedious, it's better to have the option than not. Just be warned that it is not as fun as it looks.

Well this game is really fun when you first get it but once your sim finshs collage you kind of know whats going to happen to the next sim you make.All you really do is go to collage,do homework,and write term papers.Its REALLY HARD to get your sim into the "Greek House" and if you do get in, you have to play as all of the sims.Once they are done with collage you play as a regular sim but with better jobs.There clothes for young adults are really bad!!For the girls there is only 8 new clothes,(estamated)and the furniture is ok.If your sim drops out, its like you play as regular sim as if you don't have the expanision pack.Its hard to fall in love and finsh collage at the same time.Well thats all I got!!!!!

Not the best idea June 3, 2006

A little boring, the time in college takes a long time. Your sim needs to study and earn skills to pass college which leaves little time to enjoy taking your sim through the college life. You have 72 hours after graduation to move out, which means you can live the college life in that time, but you have to go through such a long period of studying and stuff to get to this point. It's fairly easy to be 4.0 GPA, but I've had lower. It might be worth it for the objects as Maxis put out a lot of nice clothes with this, I'm a teenager and the clothes in this expansion pack appealed to me way more than the original ones. Overall, if you spend a lot of time in 3 speed (the fastest speed it can go) college life will take you about 2 - 3 hours of continuous play to graduate from. Once I've used University I don't want to play sims that haven't gone to college, so I would probably say it was worth it... I only regret paying the $40 for it when it first came out.
