Ah, the college years - that magical space in between being a reckless teenager and having to face life as a responsible grown up. Given the new and improved sims’ life cycle Maxis added to The Sims 2 (letting sims start as toddlers, grow into maturity, and die), this little reprieve from the heavy burdens of adulthood was an obvious addition, and as the first Sims 2 expansion pack, Sims 2: University adds a huge amount of content, and well as a heck of a lot of fun and charm.
