'''Colleges''' are a type of [[sub-neighborhood]] in ''[[The Sims 2: University]],'' ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''.
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
* [[Académie Le Tour]]
As with other sub-neighborhoods and neighborhoods in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' series, users can create their own custom college sub-neighborhoods using terrains imported from ''SimCity 4''.
[[Young adult]]s can attend college where they choose a [[Majors#The Sims 2: University|major]] and attend [[Class performance#Class|classes]] to improve their [[class performance]] or get put on academic probation. Failure to pass the semester on probation results in permanent expulsion, where the Sim will become an [[Adult#The Sims 2|adult]] and be sent back to their home neighborhood. They cannot return to college if this happens. Sims from outside the college sub-neighborhood can be invited to visit, but cannot travel there.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
Unlike the main neighborhood or other sub-neighborhoods in ''The Sims 2'', Sims in college sub-neighborhoods are grouped into households, where each Sim retains their given first and last name, but money and friends are collective, just as in typical neighborhoods. Households can be created by:
*Using the [[Create a Sim#The Sims 2|Create
*Using the Send Teens to College tool in the family bin of the neighborhood menu. This allows the player to select '''any''' neighborhood teen who has at least a D-, even [[townie]]s and [[
*Manually joining two or more individual student bin households into the same building.
==The Sims 3: University Life==
[[File:Sims_college.jpg|thumb|Sims University]]
The only college in ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' is [[Sims University]], a college sub-neighborhood. As with the vacation destinations in ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', Sims going to college will leave their home world and travel to the Sims University campus via loading screen. While Sims are at college,
In this expansion, college is considerably different from what it was in ''The Sims 2: University''. College is open to [[Young adult#The Sims 3|young adults]], [[Adult#The Sims 3|adults]], and [[Elder#The Sims 3|elders]], and there is no limit on the number of times a Sim can attend.
A Sim can sign up for one or two terms, and can take 1, 2, or 3 classes (for 6, 12, or 18
Completing a degree requires 48 credit hours, but Sims who take the Aptitude Test and do well in specific subjects can get 6 or 18 credits toward those majors. Sims who do well on the overall Aptitude Test can get §1,000 or §2,500 per term in [[Scholarship#The Sims 3: University Life|scholarship]] money. The total tuition costs for the Sims in a household who are going to college will be subtracted from the total scholarship money they have earned. If they have not earned enough to cover tuition, the difference must be paid out of family funds.
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
When Sims arrive on campus, the player must choose if they will live in one of the co-ed [[Dormitory#The Sims 3: University Life|dormitories]], a single-sex [[Greek house#The Sims 3: University Life|fraternity or sorority]], or in a rental house. The cost of a dorm or Greek house is considered to be covered by tuition. The cost of a rental house is paid up-front, and is covered by leftover scholarship money and/or family funds.
In addition to leftover scholarship money (if any), Sims can use family funds while at college.

* [[University of Britechester]]
Young adults and older can choose to apply and enroll to either university choosing degrees or distinguished degrees; distinguished degrees require skills and have a chance of rejecting Sims from their program, each university offers distinguished degrees that the other has a normal degree of.
Sims have an option between going on campus to a dorm, living off campus but on another location, or living at their current home and going to classes from home. Sims can also freely enter the university campus commons from any world without enrolling but must be enrolled to live in the dorms.
