The Sims 2: How To Attend University

In The Sims 2, your teenage Sims can pursue higher education at prestigious universities, experiencing young adulthood with fewer adult responsibilities. This opens doors to new career opportunities post-graduation. Here's how to guide your Sim to academic success:

Creating a University

To enroll your Sim, you must first create a university. Click the graduation cap icon in the upper-left corner of the world view. Three universities are available:

• Sim State University: A community college-like setting in Pleasantview, offering excellent education.
• Academie Le Tour: Veronaville's renowned university, lacking fraternities/sororities.
• La Fiesta Tech: A vibrant university in the desert, known for its Greek life.

You can also create a custom university from scratch, but this requires building all the lots yourself.

Attending College

Once your Sim becomes a teenager, they can apply to college via phone or computer. This is free, but securing scholarships beforehand is recommended. Alternatively, you can create a young adult Sim directly within the university neighborhood using the "Create A Student" option. Missing the teenage application window means forfeiting the opportunity.

Securing Scholarships

Teen Sims can earn various scholarships based on skills and grades:

Scholarship	Requirements	Award
Hogan Award for Athletics	Body skill of 8 or higher	750 Simoleons
Bain-Gordon Communication Fellowship	Charisma skill of 8 or higher	750 Simoleons

Scholarship funds are added to the Sim's college account, helping with dorm furnishings and avoiding immediate cafeteria work.

Dorm vs. Renting

College living options include dorms (free, shared facilities, cafeteria work available, potential for messy roommates) and renting (expensive, private, requires more self-sufficiency). Greek life offers additional social opportunities after joining a fraternity or sorority.

Graduation

Graduation requires completing four years (72 hours) of college. Grades, influenced by class attendance, assignments, and term papers, determine exam scores. Declare a major (via computer) to focus skill development. Undeclared Sims default to Philosophy. Major changes are possible.

Major	Occupations
Undeclared	None
Art	Culinary, Slacker, Artist, Journalism, Architecture
Biology	Law Enforcement, Medicine, Natural Science, Education, Oceanography
Drama	Athletics, Politics, Show Business, Dance, Entertainment
Economics	Business, Politics, Show Business, Music, Intelligence
History	Military, Politics, Artist, Law
Literature	Criminal, Slacker, Show Business, Adventurer, Music, Entertainment

Philosophy	Culinary, Slacker, Paranormal, Journalism
Physics	Medicine, Science, Paranormal, Gamer

Psychology	Business, Law Enforcement, Paranormal, Education, Law, Intelligence

After the final exam (and 72-hour grace period), Sims graduate and return home, gaining access to four new career tracks with potential level boosts for graduating with honors. Dropping out is permanent.
