[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_0000000c_aecf5f0d_7453.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Sim State University was founded by a group of Sims wishing to educate future generations. Though it has become a modern social and scholastic hub, the school still maintains its high standards of learning."'']]
The prestigious Sim State University prides itself on its intellectual prowess and for producing many brilliant Alumni over the years. This university Subhood is commonly regarded by {{Fanon}} as the canonical university for Pleasantview. There are three playable households to chose from, as well as three other households in the family bin: The Tri-Var Sorority and Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity, and the Bright, Freshman, Phoenix, and Swain households. This sub-neighborhood is only available with ''The Sims 2: University''.
The story of SSU focuses mostly on the lives of the three campus households living there. The Tri-Var sorority wants to expand, but they're having trouble finding willing pledges, the Bright household wants to get away from the craziness of campus life but fears boredom and loneliness, and the Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity wants to keep its prestigious reputation, but its members find themselves in a dilemma over their drastically different personalities.
-----
* BettyAndVeronica: Heather is the Archie to Martin's Betty and Castor's Veronica. Conversely, Castor is the Archie to Tiffany and Allegra's Betty and Heather and Brittany's Veronica.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Martin is the responsible sibling to Joshua's foolish.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble:
** Castor Nova is the Realist.
** Kevin Beare is the Optimist.
** Joshua Ruben is the Conflicted.
** Ashley Pitts is the Cynic.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Allegra (Dark) and Jane (Light).
* LoveDodecahedron: In the same vein as Pleasantview. All of it can be traced back to Castor Nova, whom almost every playable female student (except Jane Stacks) has a crush on.
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Tiffany is nice, Brittany is mean, and Heather is somewhere inbetween.
* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: The Bright household, without the childhood part.
!!The Tri-Var Sorority
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_0000000c_0ecf5f17_3721.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"The Tri-Var sorority may be the nicest Greek house on campus but with sisters like Heather and Brittany will Tiffany be able to convince anyone else to join?"'']]
As the only Sorority on campus, the Tri-Var sorority takes great pride in being a lavish Greek house. Unfortunately, they can't seem to find anymore people wanting to join, as potential canditates are often intimidated by the Queen Bee Brittany and up-and-coming maneater Heather. Only Tiffany seems to be the only sane person among the trio.
* AlphaBitch: Brittany is described as a popular bitchy girl and the 'Queen Bee' of the sorority.
* BeneathTheMask: ... However, her biography explains that this outward meanness stems from a general insecurity and the fact that no one will spend time with her.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Debatable on the "drinking" part, since ''The Sims 2'' universe doesn't appear to have any kinds of alcohol, but Heather definently loves to party and goes by the motto of "So many parties, so little time".
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: This is ultimately what Brittany wants.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Brittany appears to be the most self-centered of the Sorority.
* {{Jerkass}}: Brittany only has one point in niceness. Thanks to this, she'll usually end up autonomously annoying or irritating others to the point of making several enemies, the most likely candidate being Allegra Gorey, who dislikes Brittany the most out of all three sorority girls.
* LonelyAtTheTop: It's said that even though Brittany is the leader of the sorority, no one wants to hang out with her willingly. Tellingly, none of her fellow sorority sisters are friends with her, and the only friends she has are Kevin Beare, the resident NiceGuy, and Castor Nova, whom she's crushing on alongside the rest of her household.
* MeaningfulName: Brittany's surname already appears to be a pun on "stuck-up" and "snotty," but in the German version her surname is actually "Arrogant."
* OnlySaneWoman: Good lord, poor Tiffany. She has to deal with an egocentric, insecure {{Jerkass}} and a careless, lazy maneater. Her bio also states that she doesn't "like to make waves" and that she enjoys keeping things calm at the Sorority.
* ReallyGetsAround: Heather has the romance aspiration, and though she's actually somewhat nice personality-wise, she'll still roll wants to flirt and sleep around unless you change her aspiration. [[CommitmentIssues Like all romance sims, she also fears marriage and steady relationships.]] She views her nerdy LoveInterest Martin as nothing more but a fling in the making.
* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: ''All of them'' want Castor Nova. It's a ripe setup for house drama. Whoever ends up getting him is up to the player. Or you could pair him up with either [[TakeAThirdOption Allegra Gorey or Jane Stacks]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. In addition to Castor, Heather is also crushing on Martin Ruben, the local {{Nerd}}, but he's explicitly referred to as her next "conquest", rather than any genuine attraction on her part.
* UnknownRival: Allegra Gorey dislikes all of them, but only Tiffany doesn't seem to be aware of her ill feelings towards them. Consequently, all the girls are this to each other regarding Castor Nova.
!!The Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_0000000c_cecf5f11_499.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"The Urele-Oresha-Cham House is the oldest Fraternity on campus with a long and prestigious history. Can the brothers keep the historic house united or will their drastically different personalities divide them instead?"'']]
Frat brothers Castor, Joshua, Kevin, and Ashley live together in a spacious mansion. Castor is the CoolGuy on campus that every girl wants, Kevin is the quintessential NiceGuy and cuddle bear of the bunch, Joshua is the bumbling college student with no clear lifegoals, and Ashley is the self-centered CasanovaWannabe {{Jerkass}}.
* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: Joshua's easily distracted by the Sorority girls.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Joshua
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Joshua Ruben has Jewish or Hebrew first and last names.
* BeYourself: Castor "marches to the beat of his own drum."
* BigManOnCampus: Castor Nova. Christ, every playable female student (with the notable exception of Jane Stacks) has a crush on him.
* BookDumb: Joshua is implied to be this.
* CasanovaWannabe: Since Ashley has the romance aspiration and is described as self-centered, it wouldn't be hard to imagine him attempting to unsucessfully woo ladies. Depending on the player's interpretation, this could put him in the position of being jealous of Castor's success as a ChickMagnet and/or his UnknownRival.
* CluelessChickMagnet: Castor Nova. He has no idea that half the campus has the hots for him.
* DistractedByTheSexy: A major reason for why Joshua can't decide what major he wants to study. (Alongside pizza, apparently.)
* DumbJock: Joshua fits the mold, as unfocused as he is on his studies. He's also got maxed-out interest in sports.
* {{Fratbro}}: Joshua is the stereotypical frat member.
* GenderBlenderName: Ashley Pitts.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Ashley spends ''an awful'' amount of time staring at himself in the mirror, according to his biography.
* {{Jerkass}}: Ashley, like Brittany, has only one point in niceness.
* LoveTriangle: Joshua and Castor are in one with Tiffany Sampson. Joshua likes Tiffany, who is oblivious to his crush and wants Castor instead. Castor himself has no feelings for anyone.
* NiceGuy: Kevin Beare. His biography describes him as the "nice guy who just can't seem to get the girl".
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The other brothers can't seem to match Castor's popularity on campus.
* [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Single Man Seeks Good Woman]]: [[AvertedTrope Initially averted]] for Castor. Despite being surrounded by a host of crush-struck girls, Castor starts out with no visible feelings for any of them, making it so that the player is free to either choose his future partner or let autonomous free-will do it's thing. With ''Nightlife'' installed and free will on, [[BirdsOfAFeather he'll usually tend to gravitate towards girls who share the same aspiration as him, like Tiffany and Allegra.]]
** Played straight by Joshua, who has a one-sided crush on the mild-mannered Tiffany. Unlike Castor above however, Joshua and Tiffany's different personalities, interests, and aspirations make it less likely that she'll autonomously reciprocate.
!!The Bright Household
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_0000000c_8ecf5f1e_7598.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Jane, Martin and Allegra wanted to escape the craziness of campus life and decided to find their own place. Can they still have the "college experience" or will they just get lonely?"'']]
The Bright Household banded together to get away from the crazy campus life and have some peace and quiet. Sadly, they can't always avoid being permanently isolated from the silly drama and shenanigans that often encompases College life, but they still hope to have a solid college experience.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Allegra looks down on the Tri-Var Sorority and generally acts more reserved than her other two housemates.
* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for Martin. Unlike his frat brother Joshua, whom he can "hardly believe he's related to", Martin makes a point of avoiding the Tri-Var sorority and is far more interested in getting his degree. He's still friends with Heather, however, and completely oblivious of her intentions to make him into her next conquest.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Martin has a Jewish surname.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Martin is the responsible sibling to Joshua's foolish sibling.
* {{Goth}}: Allegra Gorey.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Allegra (Dark) and Jane (Light).
* {{Nerd}}: Martin is described as one, as he has posters of aliens hung up on his bedroom and his interests lean strongly towards the Paranormal and Sci-Fi.
* NotSoDifferent: Allegra and Tiffany Sampson actually have quite a lot in common, sharing the same aspiration and a few key interests. Fittingly, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration the game subtly alludes to this by showing that, out of all the sorority girls, Allegra dislikes Tiffany the least.]]
* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Allegra has a crush on Castor Nova, unsurprisingly. Averted in the case of Jane, although strangely enough, her biography implies that she might fall for him in the near future.

La Fiesta Tech is a college located within the desert. {{Fanon}} often regards it as the canon university for Strangetown, although it can be attached to any neighborhood. Like Sim State University, the story of the neighborhood has no central plot tying it together, and each household has its own plot.
Living on Campus is the Tri-Fruhm Sorority, the Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity, a local GarageBand named ''The Shifting Paradymes'', and the uptight Francis J. Worthington III.
This subneighborhood is available with ''The Sims 2: University''.
* DistaffCounterpart[=/=]SpearCounterpart: The Fraternity and Sorority of La Fiesta Tech are this to the ones in Sim State University - Oresha-Hoh-Var is Tri-Var's male counterpart, and Tri-Fruhm is Urele-Oresha-Cham's female counterpart.

The Tri-Fruhm Sorority is known as one of the coolest houses to join - And with good reason. The sisters are quite chill in their own ways, but with so many events to show up to, they worry over being able to complete their studies, and to top it off, Jessica Pilferson is showing interest in Sarah's boyfriend, Matthew.
* CountryMouse: Sarah came from a small town to a big campus.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: Sarah Love and Matthew Hart apparently were this before they came to college.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Monica is a political activist who protests against deforestation and animal testing for cosmetics... while handing out ''stacks of fliers'' and ''free make-up samples''.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Implied in DJ's biography. The biography describes her as creative and talented - but she's only staying in the Sorority until she can find a place of her own. Sarah Love is her only friend in the Sorority.
* LoveTriangle: Jessie has a crush on Matthew Hart, but he's dating her housemate Sarah Love.
* NerdGlasses: Monica has them. They're exclusive to her and will be lost if you remove them.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Jessie wants to become a professional sports star.
* PunnyName: Jessie ''Pilferson''. As she has a crush on Sarah's boyfriend Matthew and has the romance aspiration, this implies she might want to steal him away from her.

The Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity is the only Frat house on Campus and is inhabited by Guy Wrightley, Matthew Hart, and Mickey Dosser. It was founded by Guy's great-grandfather decades ago and holds high academic standards, but no one knows if Guy can keep up with his Frat legacy or get too distracted by frat life.
* TheAce: Guy seems to be this.
* CountryMouse: Like his girlfriend Sarah, Matthew came from a small town.
* FatSlob: Mickey is fat and very sloppy.
* HeldBackInSchool: When you first play the Oresha-Hoh-Var Fraternity Mickey is on Academic Probation and would actually be in his second semester of Freshman year.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: Matthew and his girlfriend Sarah seem to be this.
* LazyBum: Mickey Dosser
* LoveTriangle: Matthew is unknowingly in one with Jessie and his girlfriend Sarah.
* NiceGuy: Matthew seems to be this among the trio.
* PunnyName: Guy ''Wrightley'' hints at Guy being a litertaure major, Matthew ''Hart'' for his status as TheHeart among the group, and Mickey ''Dosser'' hints at his lazy nature.
* TheSlacker: Mickey has no motivation to work seriously at all. When you first play the Fraternity he's already on Academic Probation (And the only pre-made college Sim to actually be on Academic Probation) but has passed the bare minimum required to move on to his second semester of Freshman year.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_00000023_2ecf5b4e.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Académie Le Tour prides itself on its careful balance of old traditions and new ideas. With a spacious campus and world renowned professors in every classroom, what more could a Sim want?"'']]
Académie Le Tour is a college sub-neighbourhood made available with ''The Sims 2: University''. {{Fanon}} often regards it as the canonical university for Veronaville, although it can be attached to any neighbourhood. While similar in many ways to Sim State University and La Fiesta Tech, there are a few subtle differences: primarily, there are no pre-made sororities or fraternities at the college, strengthening the popular notion that it is linked to the European-themed Veronaville (in Europe, Greek Houses are not a common part of the university system) as opposed to the more American-themed college towns usually associated with Pleasantview and Strangetown.
There are six households at the college when first played: three (the Sharpe, O'Feefe, and Friends households) are already moved in, and another three (the Biggs, Students, and First Year household) are in the family bin. As with other sub-neighbourhoods in ''The Sims 2'', there is little overarching plot, though some drama is created by siblings Edwin and Roxie Sharpe and their respective love interests, Delilah O'Feefe and Jonah Powers.
* CoolSchool: Académie Le Tour is implied to be a very prestigious school, and its name and architecture wouldn't look too out of place in Europe (in particular France).
* EveryoneIsBi: Several Sims on campus do not have a set gender preference if examined in Sim PE.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sharpe household and Delilah O'Feefe make a good one:
** Roxie is Sanguine.
** Jonah is Choleric.
** Delilah is Melancholic.
** Edwin is Phlegmatic.
* ShrinkingViolet: Marla Biggs. As a bonus, her everyday top is coloured purple.

The Sharpe household is made up of two siblings, Roxie and Edwin Sharpe, as well as Roxie's boyfriend, Jonah Powers. Roxie and Jonah are hobbyist musicians in their free time and popular on campus, but Roxie finds herself horribly embarassed by her younger, dorkier brother Edwin, who wants nothing more but to move out of his sister's pad. It certainly doesn't help that he and Jonah do not get along well at all, and Roxie is faced with the choice of siding with either her boyfriend or her brother.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Jonah has Roxie as a girlfriend, and his in-game biography states that everyone on campus wants to hang out with him. Presumably this also includes the ladies.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Edwin is at last a year younger than Roxie judging by their respective stages in their college career, and Roxie certainly seems to view him as this.
* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]: Roxie is only mere acquaintances with her younger brother Edwin and claims to be "tolerant" of him.
* ArchEnemy: What Edwin and Jonah's relationship inevitably turns into when left to their own devices. Their relationship is already rather strained when first played and Jonah, being the {{Jerkass}} that he is, will likely initiate hostile interactions autonomously. Edwin is too much of a NiceGuy to fight back if he's bullied.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: InUniverse, Jonah and Roxie are said to be quite popular around Campus.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Edwin has a crush on Delilah O'Feefe, and seems to hope that this trope will come into fruitition.
* GuysAreSlobs: Jonah is one of the worst offenders with only one point in Neatness. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by Edwin, who is very neat in contrast.
* {{Foil}}: Edwin and Jonah are diametrically opposed in personality, appearance, and interests:
** Edwin is a {{Nerd}} who loves Sci-fi, school, the Paranormal, and shows interest in politics. He's very neat, shy, somewhat active, rather serious, and nice. However, he's also very out of shape, starting out as fat in the game, wears nerdy glasses, and has a dorky haircut and clothing style.
** In contrast, Jonah is a RebelliousSpirit who's more interested in money, food, crime, and sports. He's sloppy, outgoing, rather active, playful, and grouchy. Like his girlfriend, Jonah also indulges in {{Punk}} aesthetics and has tattoos on his arms and legs.
* {{Jerkass}}: Jonah has two points in niceness, only slightly better than SSU's Brittany Upsnott and Ashley Pitts. Roxie is only marginally nicer.
* {{Nerd}}: Edwin is THE quintessential Nerd in looks, personality, and interests. He even outdoes Martin Ruben in this regard.
* NerdGlasses: Edwin wears them. They'll be lost forever if you remove them.
* NoodleIncident: The family bio states that Roxie resents having her dorky younger brother coming to live with her at college; what's not clear is why they're sharing a house at all if they can't stand each other, since housing at Simlish universities is pretty affordable, and he could easily have gone to live in one of the many on-campus dorms.
* UsefulNotes/{{Punk}}: Roxie and Jonah's fashion choices lean heavily towards a grungy punk palette, and they're presumably also heavily into the genre.
* RebelliousSpirit: Jonah and Roxie both fit this trope to a T.
* SiblingYinYang: Roxie and Edwin - she's a punky-goth girl who's all about appearing cool, while he's a nerdy guy who's mostly into science, homework, and video games.

Mitch Indie and Max Flexor are two best friends who've recently decided to move in together after meeting on the first school day and striking up a friendship. Mitch loves innovation and is fairly popular around campus, while Max aspires to be like Mitch and absorb some of his "cool" vibes. Now that they're living together, one wonders what they might discover as they deal with the ups and downs of college life.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When the household is first played, both Mitch and Max, like a few other sims in Academié Le Tour, do not have a set gender preference. The household description throws even more fuel onto the fire by speculating whether the two might... ''discover something'' about themselves.
* {{Bookworm}}: Max lists reading among his hobbies.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Max's hobbies are reading and cooking, and it's said that he's trying to absorb some of Mitch's "cool" vibes, pointing towards this trope being in play. Mitch is also Max's only friend on campus.
* ExperimentedInCollege: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] to be a possible outcome of their plotline. The household description vaguely aludes to the pair discovering something new about their friendship. Whether this holds true or not is up to the player.
* {{Hipster}}: Mitch is described as a true hipster.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Max is implied to feel like this towards Mitch to some degree.

Delilah O'Feefe came to Académie Le Tour to get an art degree and some peace and quiet. Living alone has so far been a blast for her - no annoying roommates, no college drama to deal with, and an entire house all to herself, although she has lately been getting attention from the strange geek-next-door...
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She may not be pale like most examples, but Delilah is described as being aloof in her biography and has dark hair, so she technically falls under this trope.
* CoolShades: Sports a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses.
* FriendlessBackground: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Delilah isn't absolutely friendless but she doesn't like socializing with others frequently.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Edwin Sharpe has a crush on her. You as the player can choose whether to [[RelationshipUpgrade fulfill this trope]] or [[DefiedTrope defy]] it.
* IceQueen: Said to prefer paintings to people.
* IdenticalStranger: She shares one of the default female face templates with Cassandra Goth.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. It's not outright stated but her household biography states that she does not want to deal with the drama of having roommates, which implies that she may see herself as this compared to the rest of the Académie Le Tour cast.
* TheQuietOne: Has three points in Outgoingness, meaning that she's far more likely to spend her time reading a book or writing in a diary than socializing with others.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Sim State University was founded by a group of Sims wishing to educate future generations. Though it has become a modern social and scholastic hub, the school still maintains its high standards of learning."'']]
The prestigious Sim State University prides itself on its intellectual prowess and for producing many brilliant Alumni over the years. This university Subhood is commonly regarded by {{Fanon}} as the canonical university for Pleasantview. There are three playable households to chose from, as well as three other households in the family bin: The Tri-Var Sorority and Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity, and the Bright, Freshman, Phoenix, and Swain households. This sub-neighborhood is only available with ''The Sims 2: University''.
The story of SSU focuses mostly on the lives of the three campus households living there. The Tri-Var sorority wants to expand, but they're having trouble finding willing pledges, the Bright household wants to get away from the craziness of campus life but fears boredom and loneliness, and the Urele-Oresha-Cham Fraternity wants to keep its prestigious reputation, but its members find themselves in a dilemma over their drastically different personalities.

* BettyAndVeronica: Heather is the Archie to Martin's Betty and Castor's Veronica. Conversely, Castor is the Archie to Tiffany and Allegra's Betty and Heather and Brittany's Veronica.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Martin is the responsible sibling to Joshua's foolish.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble:

** Kevin Beare is the Optimist.
** Joshua Ruben is the Conflicted.
** Ashley Pitts is the Cynic.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Allegra (Dark) and Jane (Light).

[[caption-width-right:350:''"The Tri-Var sorority may be the nicest Greek house on campus but with sisters like Heather and Brittany will Tiffany be able to convince anyone else to join?"'']]
As the only Sorority on campus, the Tri-Var sorority takes great pride in being a lavish Greek house. Unfortunately, they can't seem to find anymore people wanting to join, as potential canditates are often intimidated by the Queen Bee Brittany and up-and-coming maneater Heather. Only Tiffany seems to be the only sane person among the trio.
* AlphaBitch: Brittany is described as a popular bitchy girl and the 'Queen Bee' of the sorority.
* BeneathTheMask: ... However, her biography explains that this outward meanness stems from a general insecurity and the fact that no one will spend time with her.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Debatable on the "drinking" part, since ''The Sims 2'' universe doesn't appear to have any kinds of alcohol, but Heather definently loves to party and goes by the motto of "So many parties, so little time".
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: This is ultimately what Brittany wants.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Brittany appears to be the most self-centered of the Sorority.
* {{Jerkass}}: Brittany only has one point in niceness. Thanks to this, she'll usually end up autonomously annoying or irritating others to the point of making several enemies, the most likely candidate being Allegra Gorey, who dislikes Brittany the most out of all three sorority girls.
* LonelyAtTheTop: It's said that even though Brittany is the leader of the sorority, no one wants to hang out with her willingly. Tellingly, none of her fellow sorority sisters are friends with her, and the only friends she has are Kevin Beare, the resident NiceGuy, and Castor Nova, whom she's crushing on alongside the rest of her household.
* MeaningfulName: Brittany's surname already appears to be a pun on "stuck-up" and "snotty," but in the German version her surname is actually "Arrogant."
* OnlySaneWoman: Good lord, poor Tiffany. She has to deal with an egocentric, insecure {{Jerkass}} and a careless, lazy maneater. Her bio also states that she doesn't "like to make waves" and that she enjoys keeping things calm at the Sorority.
* ReallyGetsAround: Heather has the romance aspiration, and though she's actually somewhat nice personality-wise, she'll still roll wants to flirt and sleep around unless you change her aspiration. [[CommitmentIssues Like all romance sims, she also fears marriage and steady relationships.]] She views her nerdy LoveInterest Martin as nothing more but a fling in the making.
* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: ''All of them'' want Castor Nova. It's a ripe setup for house drama. Whoever ends up getting him is up to the player. Or you could pair him up with either [[TakeAThirdOption Allegra Gorey or Jane Stacks]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. In addition to Castor, Heather is also crushing on Martin Ruben, the local {{Nerd}}, but he's explicitly referred to as her next "conquest", rather than any genuine attraction on her part.
* UnknownRival: Allegra Gorey dislikes all of them, but only Tiffany doesn't seem to be aware of her ill feelings towards them. Consequently, all the girls are this to each other regarding Castor Nova.

Frat brothers Castor, Joshua, Kevin, and Ashley live together in a spacious mansion. Castor is the CoolGuy on campus that every girl wants, Kevin is the quintessential NiceGuy and cuddle bear of the bunch, Joshua is the bumbling college student with no clear lifegoals, and Ashley is the self-centered CasanovaWannabe {{Jerkass}}.
* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: Joshua's easily distracted by the Sorority girls.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Joshua
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Joshua Ruben has Jewish or Hebrew first and last names.
* BeYourself: Castor "marches to the beat of his own drum."
* BigManOnCampus: Castor Nova. Christ, every playable female student (with the notable exception of Jane Stacks) has a crush on him.
* BookDumb: Joshua is implied to be this.
* CasanovaWannabe: Since Ashley has the romance aspiration and is described as self-centered, it wouldn't be hard to imagine him attempting to unsucessfully woo ladies. Depending on the player's interpretation, this could put him in the position of being jealous of Castor's success as a ChickMagnet and/or his UnknownRival.
* CluelessChickMagnet: Castor Nova. He has no idea that half the campus has the hots for him.
* DistractedByTheSexy: A major reason for why Joshua can't decide what major he wants to study. (Alongside pizza, apparently.)
* DumbJock: Joshua fits the mold, as unfocused as he is on his studies. He's also got maxed-out interest in sports.
* {{Fratbro}}: Joshua is the stereotypical frat member.
* GenderBlenderName: Ashley Pitts.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Ashley spends ''an awful'' amount of time staring at himself in the mirror, according to his biography.
* {{Jerkass}}: Ashley, like Brittany, has only one point in niceness.
* LoveTriangle: Joshua and Castor are in one with Tiffany Sampson. Joshua likes Tiffany, who is oblivious to his crush and wants Castor instead. Castor himself has no feelings for anyone.
* NiceGuy: Kevin Beare. His biography describes him as the "nice guy who just can't seem to get the girl".
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The other brothers can't seem to match Castor's popularity on campus.
* [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Single Man Seeks Good Woman]]: [[AvertedTrope Initially averted]] for Castor. Despite being surrounded by a host of crush-struck girls, Castor starts out with no visible feelings for any of them, making it so that the player is free to either choose his future partner or let autonomous free-will do it's thing. With ''Nightlife'' installed and free will on, [[BirdsOfAFeather he'll usually tend to gravitate towards girls who share the same aspiration as him, like Tiffany and Allegra.]]
** Played straight by Joshua, who has a one-sided crush on the mild-mannered Tiffany. Unlike Castor above however, Joshua and Tiffany's different personalities, interests, and aspirations make it less likely that she'll autonomously reciprocate.

The Bright Household banded together to get away from the crazy campus life and have some peace and quiet. Sadly, they can't always avoid being permanently isolated from the silly drama and shenanigans that often encompases College life, but they still hope to have a solid college experience.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Allegra looks down on the Tri-Var Sorority and generally acts more reserved than her other two housemates.
* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for Martin. Unlike his frat brother Joshua, whom he can "hardly believe he's related to", Martin makes a point of avoiding the Tri-Var sorority and is far more interested in getting his degree. He's still friends with Heather, however, and completely oblivious of her intentions to make him into her next conquest.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Martin has a Jewish surname.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Martin is the responsible sibling to Joshua's foolish sibling.
* {{Goth}}: Allegra Gorey.
* LightFeminineDarkFeminine: Allegra (Dark) and Jane (Light).
* {{Nerd}}: Martin is described as one, as he has posters of aliens hung up on his bedroom and his interests lean strongly towards the Paranormal and Sci-Fi.
* NotSoDifferent: Allegra and Tiffany Sampson actually have quite a lot in common, sharing the same aspiration and a few key interests. Fittingly, [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration the game subtly alludes to this by showing that, out of all the sorority girls, Allegra dislikes Tiffany the least.]]
* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Allegra has a crush on Castor Nova, unsurprisingly. Averted in the case of Jane, although strangely enough, her biography implies that she might fall for him in the near future.

There are six households at the college when first played: three (the Sharpe, O'Feefe, and Friends households) are already moved in, and another three (the Biggs, Students, and First Year household) are in the family bin.

** Edwin is a {{Nerd}} who loves Sci-fi, school, the Paranormal, and shows interest in politics. He's very neat, shy, somewhat active, rather serious, and nice. However, he's also very out of shape, starting out as fat in the game, wears nerdy glasses, and has a dorky haircut and clothing style.
** In contrast, Jonah is a RebelliousSpirit who's more interested in money, food, crime, and sports. He's sloppy, outgoing, rather active, playful, and grouchy. Like his girlfriend, Jonah also indulges in {{Punk}} aesthetics and has tattoos on his arms and legs.
* {{Jerkass}}: Jonah has two points in niceness, only slightly better than SSU's Brittany Upsnott and Ashley Pitts. Roxie is only marginally nicer.
* {{Nerd}}: Edwin is THE quintessential Nerd in looks, personality, and interests. He even outdoes Martin Ruben in this regard.
* NerdGlasses: Edwin wears them. They'll be lost forever if you remove them.
* NoodleIncident: The family bio states that Roxie resents having her dorky younger brother coming to live with her at college; what's not clear is why they're sharing a house at all if they can't stand each other, since housing at Simlish universities is pretty affordable, and he could easily have gone to live in one of the many on-campus dorms.
* UsefulNotes/{{Punk}}: Roxie and Jonah's fashion choices lean heavily towards a grungy punk palette, and they're presumably also heavily into the genre.
* RebelliousSpirit: Jonah and Roxie both fit this trope to a T.
* SiblingYinYang: Roxie and Edwin - she's a punky-goth girl who's all about appearing cool, while he's a nerdy guy who's mostly into science, homework, and video games.
!! Friends household
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_00000023_aecf5b56.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Mitch and Max met the first day of school and struck up a friendship. What will they discover now that they've moved out of the dorms and are on their own?"'']]
Mitch Indie and Max Flexor are two best friends who've recently decided to move in together after meeting on the first school day and striking up a friendship. Mitch loves innovation and is fairly popular around campus, while Max aspires to be like Mitch and absorb some of his "cool" vibes. Now that they're living together, one wonders what they might discover as they deal with the ups and downs of college life.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When the household is first played, both Mitch and Max, like a few other sims in Academié Le Tour, do not have a set gender preference. The household description throws even more fuel onto the fire by speculating whether the two might... ''discover something'' about themselves.
* {{Bookworm}}: Max lists reading among his hobbies.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Max's hobbies are reading and cooking, and it's said that he's trying to absorb some of Mitch's "cool" vibes, pointing towards this trope being in play. Mitch is also Max's only friend on campus.
* ExperimentedInCollege: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] to be a possible outcome of their plotline. The household description vaguely aludes to the pair discovering something new about their friendship. Whether this holds true or not is up to the player.
* {{Hipster}}: Mitch is described as a true hipster.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Max is implied to feel like this towards Mitch to some degree.
* PunnyName: Mitch ''Indie'' and Max ''Flexor''. Amusingly enough, if you swap the vowels in Max and Mitch's names, you get ''Mix and Match''.
!! O'Feefe household
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_00000023_2ecf5b51.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Delilah enjoys the peace and quiet that living alone offers and moved into her own house as soon as she was able. Who wants to deal with the drama of "roommates"?"'']]
Delilah O'Feefe came to Académie Le Tour to get an art degree and some peace and quiet. Living alone has so far been a blast for her - no annoying roommates, no college drama to deal with, and an entire house all to herself, although she has lately been getting attention from the strange geek-next-door...
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She may not be pale like most examples, but Delilah is described as being aloof in her biography and has dark hair, so she technically falls under this trope.
* CoolShades: Sports a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses.
* FriendlessBackground: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Delilah isn't absolutely friendless but she doesn't like socializing with others frequently.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Edwin Sharpe has a crush on her. You as the player can choose whether to [[RelationshipUpgrade fulfill this trope]] or [[DefiedTrope defy]] it.
* IceQueen: Said to prefer paintings to people.
* IdenticalStranger: She shares one of the default female face templates with Cassandra Goth.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. It's not outright stated but her household biography states that she does not want to deal with the drama of having roommates, which implies that she may see herself as this compared to the rest of the Académie Le Tour cast.
* TheQuietOne: Has three points in Outgoingness, meaning that she's far more likely to spend her time reading a book or writing in a diary than socializing with others.
