More Letters Home
As mentioned a few hours ago, GameSpy was working on the second batch of letters home from University. New information can be extracted from the letters. For example, that when you successfully pass a year, you won't get much of a ceremony, but merely a text pop-up message. You will also get some extra money when succeeding. The amount depends on the grades your Sim got.

When your Sim is in a sorority, that'll take quite a bit of time. Making new friends constantly is required to stay popular and to "attract fresh meat." The sprinkler prank that has been mentioned several times in the past is also elaborated on a bit: you can set off sprinklers by - of course - holding a lighter near them. Another prank is also mentioned: pour some soap in the campus fountain.

Besides jobs your Sims can take, Sims can also get extra tips by standing on the street corner and just rapping. But if you'd rather get a proper job, just walk to the counter of for example the coffee place, take on the uniform, and show up at work whenever you like. Contrary to earlier information, the new letters say that you have to decide which major you choose after the sophomore (the second) year. Until then you can pick any major you like at any time. Classes during the majors also have specific named subjects so it seems. For example the Political Science major, which requires training of charisma, creativity, and body skills, consists of subjects like "Protestors: When to Oppress," "Patriotism: Why Every Country is Worse than Yours," and "Lab: Make Your Own Monarchy." The Philosophy major includes "Who Controls the Pie Menu and Why?"

Finally a Career Councellor is mentioned, but it's not clear if that will be a feature of the pack or not. Read all the letters for the exact details.
