If studying has become too stressful, you can take a break and attend bar night with The Brainiacs honor society. This honor society is a good way for your Sim to help with the robot uprising as the members love to create future overlords with the Bot Savants. You can have your Bot to take part in the Utili-Bot Contest and see if you can reign supreme.
University of Britechester
The University of Britechester is know for students that are smart, well-rounded, and ready to face what the world has to offer. This university has a number of degree paths for your Sim, which include distinguished offerings that put an emphasis on the arts and humanities.

in UBrite, you Sim can show their dance moves by being part of the Britechester Spirit Corps Organization. Here your Sim can promote Dragon pride and maybe do a keg stand. If you're feeling a bit creative, head on over to the canal by the commons and do some figure painting along with the Art Society. You can also test your mettle with the Debate Guild.
Financial Aid
Even before you decide where your Sim should go, it's advisable to do some research on how they're going to pay for college. There are different grants and scholarships for students who are gifted athletically and academically. There are even need-based scholarships.
For Sims that already started on their career path and want to move forward with their education, they can opt for a career scholarship. Your Sim has the option to choose which scholarship is best for them. There are also student loans available, though these payments come due once your Sim graduates.
College Life
Whether at the Foxbury Institute or the University of Britechester, there are different choices for your SIm to live either on-campus or off-campus. Sims can decorate dorm rooms, hang out with roommates, or even compete in ping pong matches. Sims can cram for finals in the commons or have some after school fun with the soccer team.
You Sim can even pull pranks, but don't enjoy this too much. If your Sim gets too distracted and their grades drop, this could lead to more issues, especially for those who are on a grant or scholarships.
After the world of magic, the university expansion pack is sure to offer new experiences. You can pre-order the pack here.
