    Awesome. Its fun for your sims to go and enjoy and its also fun to see your kids sims go off to university.
    My only complaint was I was hoping to have an option to send sims off without controlling them. Like boarding schools from generations! :D I would send a sim off and they would come back after days with the degree.

    A mediocre addition to the game, allowing you to play the school minigame except with older sims. It's a repetitive and very lacking addition, with the best being the rebel-jock-nerd spectrum of social life.

    Everything that was added in this expansion is great. I have no complaints about this pack. It is definitely now one of my favorite expansions for the series. It adds new features such as social groups, a few new careers, an updated smartphone, new items, clothing, hair, and of course the university aspect of the expansion. Not sure why some complain about the price of the expansions andEverything that was added in this expansion is great. I have no complaints about this pack.

Not sure why some complain about the price of the expansions and series. There have always been expansion packs for the Sims series ever since the beginning, so when I invest in this series I come to expect all the fees that go along with it. Sims is one of the most pricey series to play if you want all the content. But it is so worth it. The game is huge with all the content and has so much to do.… Expand

    I play the Sims 3 for hours almost every day, and I just recently bought this expansion pack. Although it is fun the first few times, the "university life" experience gets boring and repetitive. I would still recommend you buy it if you enjoy the Sims, because it does add a lot more experiences into the game. But the whole university thing isn't that great.

I would just buy the expansion for the new features. Especially the "heat of the moment kiss." It's adorable! I also really enjoy the blogging app that comes with the new smart phone. It really lets you get involved with your Sims, as opposed to just controlling their actions.… Expand

    The expansion pack add so much even just in the asthetics. i havnt even gone to the university world yet but already having so much fun. you get drink machines, bowling and some nice outdoor things like the flying disk that the kids can use. like every other EP all these little small things add up to make the game amazing.

    Plenty of flashy toys and colorful distractions for the first few seconds, complete lack of value for the rest of the time spent in. A sad excuse of an expansion from a sad excuse of a developer

    The Sims 3 Life University is one of the few remakes that surpasses expansions ..

    There's no denying that is among the three expansions that most gost, the university town ta beautiful, new interactions, many clothes and objects and the coolest thing is the three social groups, really a great expansion.

    Can't really see the point of this expansion. This could be another game. No need to establish another world outside the sims. And the university... is so boring.

    A lot of people have been anticipating for this game for a long time and I think it could've been made better.
    The first time you enter the university it's a lot of fun, but the second time already gets boring and repetitive.

    Uma expansão repleta de novidades e conteúdo é o que não falta, essa expansão com toda certeza foi um marco para a geração do The Sims 3, finalmente uma expansão que introduza estudo para a vida dos jovens, e claro, tinha que ter uma diversão junta para que houvesse uma bela experiência.

    Don't get me wrong i do enjoy this pack but it doesn't have much play value and after playing it one or twice it can get quite repetitive , however good range of build and buy objects and decent no clothing. Thus , a strong 6/10

    All in all, The Sims 3: University Life is another fun addition to the The Sims 3 collection, and it adds a lot of new stuff to do. University Life would have been better served if it had been released earlier, as going to college is more important and interesting in a Sim's life than, say, werewolves.

    Longtime Sims gamers won't mind heading back to school again with plenty of new educational experiences and places to socially explore with a revisiting of those school days gone by or experiencing it in tandem with current college life, depending on the age of the gamer.

    It's better than Seasons, but it's not game-changing. If anything, this just serves as a sign that the series is getting long in the tooth, and EA needs to think about releasing a complete edition to make all of this stuff more accessible to more players.
