The first The Sims 3 University Life reviews have arrived. First is Game Revolution, who has rated it 4.0 out of 5:

Among the stronger expansions for The Sims 3, University Life fills in the time gap missing from the series and offers enough depth to extend the life of every Sim meaningfully. In addition to introducing a new plant-based Sim type, the added social content broadens the interaction of the Sim universe.

Next is GameZone, who rated it a “Great” 8.5 out of 10:

The Sims 3 University Life is more than just a themed  expansion. It’s a refreshing add-on that will have  lasting effects beyond that of just your Sim’s college  career. More importantly, it’s a meaningful expansion  that fills a gap in The Sims 3 gameplay.

Last is GamesRadar, who rated it a “Mediocre” two and a half stars out of five:

In many ways, The Sims 3: University Life does a great job of replicating those wild college years. However,  what works in real life doesn’t always make for  compelling gameplay. The classes, parties, finals, streaking, and keg stands are great touches, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’ll spend a lot of time with your finger on the speed up command, and your family at home may as well not exist in the meantime.

GameZone has posted an interview with The Sims 3 University Life producer Sarah Nelson:

Gamezone: Why a University Life expansion and why now? What made this the best time for this expansion?

Sarah Nelson: In conceptualizing our next expansion pack as a team, we felt that is was time for Sims to move into a new chapter of their lives. University made so much sense. We also took in feedback from our community of fans and university was one of the most requested themes they wanted to see.
