The results of the aptitude test which can be taken as many times as desired will depend on their skills, traits, work experience and school grades, [5] influencing how much financial assistance they can get.

The results also show the total aptitude score, along with the sub-scores for the majors and credit award. Enrolling in university can be done at any time via the phone or the computer. Players will be able to choose their Sims' major and how many credits to take, which affects the length of time the Sims will spend at university before completing a degree.

The Sims may only study one major at a time, but they can enroll in university after completing one major in order to study another.

They can also customize the duration of the Sims' term in university, 1 week being the minimum and 2 weeks the maximum. The schedule will depend on the Sim's degree and how many credits the Sim has.

Sims cannot marry one another and female Sims cannot get or be pregnant while at University.

Sims need to wait for another 24 hours to apply for another aid. On the first day in Sims University at noon, a "meet-and-greet" orientation is held at the student union, where Sims can "get to know" one another and get free items at stands. Classes start on the first Monday morning. They are seminar-styled, which varies from "Introduction to Dodging Questions" to "Methods and Practices of Tragic Clowns", which are chosen randomly when enrolled. Players are able to choose a variety of tones in these classes, which affects the Sims' academic performances.

Some of the tones are: "Socialize" and "Suck Up to the Professor". The Sims can ask a Sim to attend their classes, but by doing so, the professor may notice.

As lecture halls are open, and therefore interactive. This feature differs from The Sims 2: University , where Sims would attend classes off-lot and could not be interacted with while at class. They can ask questions, take notes, and sleep through the lecture, and these actions affect their academic performances.

Spring breaks may occur if the player has Seasons installed, and it will depend on when the Sims' term ends. They look similar to the Adventure Boards in World Adventures. Sims need to have a high academic performance, achieved through studying, paying attention at classes and lectures, and enhanced by a Sim's existing skills. Examinations will occur on Fridays.

Sims can study from textbooks, computers and smartphones, or create a study group with up to three other Sims four total. They can also cheat on the examinations by making a study sheet and using the "Cheat" tone, but they might get caught. Sims with a high computer hacking skill can find examination answers the day before that examination on a computer.

Minimal studying and a poor mood will likely result in a failing grade. Failing it will make a major impact on their final grade. Sims can drop out of university, but this may affect their life in some way.

Graduations happen after Sims complete their major, the times varying based on major and when the Sim began to attend university. The time needed to graduate will depend on how many classes the Sim takes. If Sims graduate from university, they will get an extra trait slot and career benefits, depending on major. The grades will affect the advantages, therefore Sims with higher grades will get more bonuses, [5] while Sims with lower grades will never get any benefits.

Graduated Sims who want to meet the Sims from university can call them to have them visit their home town. Some of the university buildings are built inside of shells, similar to Late Night 's apartment building shells, where the interior can be customized while the exterior cannot. The buildings can be added on any home worlds, but they function as rabbit holes with new interactions, thus this will not serve as a real university.

Sims do not pay bills while in University. However, they do earn money if they have roommates only applies to in rent houses in University. How much money a Sim earns depends on how many roommates they have. Sorority houses are for female Sims while fraternity houses are for male Sims. These houses are more for the social side of the Sims' university life. Apartment lots are similar to dormitories. The rent cost is determined by the overall value of the lot. Social groups are groups of Sims who usually socialize with one another and have particularly similar interests, skills, and attitudes.

Your Sim can gain influence with as many of these groups they desire. These groups still exist outside of the university. To learn a Sim's social group, hover over the Sim with the mouse. Sims can choose to join the three social groups: nerds, jocks, and rebels. They can be in more than one social group, and the groups are optional to join.

Interacting with a Sim in a certain social group may result in your Sim gaining influence with that group, even if not intended. The Jocks like to win anything. They usually hang out at B's Bowlarama in Sims University where they practice bowling. They can also throw parties which are considered the best around the university. The Rebels like to stand apart from the crowd. They usually hang out at The Grotto, a hangout with a new pool table. They work on their Painting and Street Art skills, as they usually tag walls on the university and drink organic brew from barista bars.

They like to add herbs to their drinks and they are known for organizing protests on campus. The Nerds like to be smart. They usually hang out at Keith's Komics in Sims University which is an ideal hangout for the nerds as it has hobbies which they can enjoy such as computers, arcade machines and comics. They love to play video games, perform research from their majors, and win trivia challenges.

Sims can hang out with these groups and gain credibility, which can offer advantages to them, such as lifetime rewards [9] and unlock new social interactions.
