A student life

Its here!!
your sims can now go to university with Sims 3 University Life, coming to our games this March 8th (March 5th US).

The game promises to provide us with all that we love from the previous University expansion and more! I personally can't wait to get this pack and I will be getting my hands on it on release date.

The main campus

Now for the finer points. Sims aged Young Adult, Adult or Elder can all go to University so send the whole family if you like, The Sim University is based off of England style architecture (nice to see a little nod to my country there) and is an entirely new world that offers as much as you can think of. Sims can either rent a house or dorm up with some other sims if they wish. Sims renting can advertise for room mates to live with  to help play for rent. If you choose to put your sims in a dorm they can stay in a dorm they will stay with a bunch of other sims on campus. There is a new social group mechanic that allow sims to become popular and network with friends to get a step up in a career.
The Majors that each sim can take are:

• Business
• Technology
• Science and medicine
• Free Arts
• Physical Education

You can enrol in these diplomas via the phone or computer and choose you amount of terms and credits. Before hand a University mascot will show up on your home lot and drop off a welcome kit, from this you can find out about the university, grab some free gifts and take an aptitude test that will determine your sim's funding and recommended diploma (by using current skills, relationships, job and traits of your sims). Each diploma will give your sims a leg up in their desired carers allowing them to enter at a highler level and get a pay rise. While your sims are at university your home life will slow down so by the time your sims return nothing, or at least not much, will have changed.

Coffee shop YAY! 

Each diploma provides the sims with their own study equipment allowing them to study away from class. Classes are (as far as I know) rabbit holes. In your sims free time they can study, hang out at the new coffee shop, comic book store, burger bar and student union or they can throw wild parties with their friends and utilise the new items like juice kegger and bonfire.

University Life looks like a great expansion and more will be revealed soon
