GameSpy has started a new series of articles, which will describe the life at Universities in SimCity. They're written from a Sim's point of view using the Sims 2 University expansion pack. The articles are in the form of letters to home. This first edition is a compilation of several of those letters from an anonymous sim. She (considering it's a female from the included screenshots shown below) writes about her arrival, a scolarship, dorms, Fraternities and Sororities, the library, partying and Grubs. Although most of the information given is old, there are a few small details. For instance, the school mascot is (or at least can be) a giant Llama. And it was already known you could get up to two extra "wants" slots for finishing years successfully, being kicked out of University means you'll get an extra "fear" slot. It's also said that you can start your own Fraternity and move into a bigger building, with all the build options open to you. For all the letters, check Part I of the series. Click the thumbnails below for bigger versions of the screenshots.
