What Parents Need to Know
About The Sims 2 University
Parents need to know that the Sims in this game are college students who drink, have sex, and even streak around their dorm and town (in addition to going to class and studying, of course). Players can also use their influence to pressure their peers to pull a prank or kiss another character.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this game matches their expectations (or experiences) of college. This game, like so many movies, presents college as a wild, adolescent time -- do you think that's accurate? Why do you think most people go to college? Do you think it's more about the academics, growing up into a mature individual -- or the last free time of your life?

Overall The best Sims game yet
Now I love the sims so I may be a little favorable but this version has everything the regular game plus the life of a student. One example is it has four more careers that only can come from college just like some jobs require a degree in real life. So the usual good stuff of the Sims plus the new bonus is definetly a game to look out for.
