As you know, having educated Sims is important to have an evolved city with skilled employees and tech buildings. Greg Eng returns to the official website in a short post on the importance of the university having noticed that certain functions of this building are underused by the players.
Despite the cost, the university brings many advantages:
- a high number of students with several lessons / day
- the possibility of adding new wings for even more courses
- a campus with dormitories for students going to neighboring businesses
- increasing the level of industrial technology
- the appearance of fraternities (5 max), rare residences on high value land with low density
Universities can be specialized by adding wings including:
- legal wing and investigation office: helps fight crime
- medical laboratory and analysis: stimulates the medical system
- trade: trade bonus and increased trade revenue
