Official description
Explore all the experiences college has to offer. Take classes that set your Sims up for success in engineering, education or law careers.

 * KEY FEATURES

Settle into School. Begin a new chapter for your Sim at the historical University of Britechester or the modern Foxbury Institute. Live in a dorm room or off-campus, explore Britechester on a bicycle, spend time in the student commons and have a study session at the library. Cheer on the student body at a school spirit event, and wear school colors to show your Sim’s pride.

Stay Classy. Enroll in a University and choose classes that pique your interest: biology, computer science, art history or even villainy. Attend a lecture or work on term papers and presentations – the more your Sim learns, the more successful they’ll be. Going to classes or blowing them off will affect your Sim’s grades, so time management is a must.

Meet, Mingle and Explore. How your Sim embraces college life is up to you. Study all night to finish homework or chill out and sleep in. With activities like juice pong, juggling a soccer ball and hanging out with roommates, taking a break has never been so fun! Join school organizations like robotics, debate, art or even a mysterious secret society. As the year progresses, Sims become their best selves and discover who they’re meant to be.

Express Your Campus Style. Make your Sim’s space cozy with dorm room décor that reflects their personality. Develop their style in any way you choose – whether wearing late-for-class sweatpants or their best-self outfits, there’s always a way to show school spirit or impress a classmate.

Trivia

 * This is the second time in The Sims series that a university-themed pack includes multiple universities, the first being The Sims 2: University.
 * For the first time in The Sims series, Discover University allows sims to attend university off-campus, rather than being required to move into a college sub-neighborhood like in The Sims 2: University and The Sims 3: University Life.
 * Also a first in the series, Discover University allows any sims to visit the campus world (Britechester) without attending university.
 * Unlike The Sims 2: University and The Sims 3: University Life, this is the only college-themed expansion pack to not include college rock or geek rock radio stations.
 * Discover University is the first content-pack for The Sims 4 to require 64-bit (PC) and Metal (Mac) systems as part of its minimum system requirements to run. This was originally planned for The Sims 4: Island Living expansion but was pushed back.
