On Friday Aspyr announced the upcoming expansion pack The Sims 2 University is now available for preorder from their website. This add-on features the option for young adult sims to head off to college where they can attempt to become the Big Sim on campus. Partying, joining fraternities and sororities, and pulling outrageous pranks will be part of the fun as well as the struggle to keep grades high in one of 11 possible majors.

From Aspyr's site:
