The pack re-introduces the college experience to the game, along with the return of the [[Servo]] [[life state]]. Its new world of [[Britechester]] is home to two rival campuses: [[University of Britechester]] and [[Foxbury Institute]].
Additional features include [[roommate]]s, the [[law]], [[education]] and [[engineering]] careers, toilet stalls and [[bicycle]]s. It is a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', with minor elements from ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. It is also the first university-themed pack that allows Sims to attend university off-campus, and allows non-students to visit and live in the campus world.
