January 13, 2005 - Electronic Arts today announced an official release date for The Sims 2 University, the first official expansion for The Sims 2. Classes will officially begin March 1, 2005.

That gives you just a month and a few to get your Sims ready for college life -- dorms, crazy parties, awkward dating, garage bands, more crazy parties, and possibly some studying. The expansion introduces the new Young Adult age group, as well as a new town where your Sims will head off to school. Of course, with college life comes a new set of activities, items, and challenges -- including the ultimate honor of becoming Big Sim on Campus.

Be sure to check out the first University trailer, complete with said partying. By the way, that's a fruit juice keg. And that mushroom thing is a bubble blower. I mean, really -- what were you thinking?

Stay tuned for more.
