University: Difference between revisions

{{see also|inZOI}}

Attending university serves primarily as a means to enhance specific skills via structured academic progression. It provides a semi-structured educational experience integrated into the base game without needing expansions. However, no career paths currently mandate a university degree for employment or advancement in the early access version.

* Only '''Young Adult''' Zois are eligible to apply for and attend university.

* Younger Zois (Children and Teens) must attend elementary and high school as part of their standard development and cannot enroll in university.

Applying to university is done through the Zoi's smartphone while located on a household lot.

# '''Open School App:''' Click the '''School''' app icon (usually found on the lower left of the phone screen).

# '''Navigate and Apply:''' Go to the '''University''' tab within the School App. Select one of the available degree programs and click '''Apply'''.

Enrollment is automatic and instantaneous upon application. There are currently no specific admission requirements or university fees. The Zoi will receive a text message confirmation, and their Zoi information panel and schedule will update immediately to reflect their enrollment.

Players can review their Zoi's degree details, including location, schedule, academic level, and attendance record, by accessing the '''My Information''' section within the '''Career App''' on the smartphone after enrollment.

As of early access, there are three degree programs available. These primarily serve to help Zois enhance certain skills more efficiently.

| Business Administration || Youngsung School || Bliss Bay Public School || 3 Days a Week (10:00 AM - 5:00 PM)

| Computer Science Major || Youngsung School || Bliss Bay Public School || 3 Days a Week (10:00 AM - 5:00 PM)

| Multimedia Arts Major || Youngsung School || Bliss Bay Public School || 3 Days a Week (10:00 AM - 5:00 PM)

Once enrolled, a Zoi's schedule automatically updates. University classes occur '''three days a week'''. Based on the most detailed schedule provided in the references, classes run from '''10:00 AM to 5:00 PM''' (though one source mentioned a 9:00 AM start).

* Players can choose for the Zoi to '''Go''' (travel by bus) or '''Travel by Car''' if the household owns one.

* The Zoi will automatically travel to the designated university building (Youngsung School in Dowon or Bliss Bay Public School in Bliss Bay).

* Players can potentially edit the schedule or cancel classes via the pop-up, but cancelling affects the Zoi's attendance record and Academic Level negatively.

Attending classes at the university building is currently a '''"rabbit hole"''' experience.

* Players retain full control over other Zois in the household who are not at university or work.

* Random occurrences or events may trigger during class time, potentially impacting the Zoi's academic performance and mood.

A Zoi's academic success and progression are primarily determined by completing assigned tasks, often referred to as homework.

* '''Tasks:''' At the end of each university day, the Zoi receives '''two tasks''' with a short deadline (only a few hours). Prioritizing these tasks is important, unless the Zoi's basic needs (like hunger or energy) are critically low.

* '''Completion Requirements:''' Tasks typically involve using a '''computer''' or a '''bookshelf'''. Players must ensure the Zoi uses the correct item (e.g., selecting an advanced book instead of a beginner one if specified) or selects the appropriate homework option on the computer.

* '''Performance Tracking:''' Completing tasks on time improves academic performance (tracked as '''Academic Level'''). Failing to meet deadlines, or skipping classes, results in performance drops. Academic performance can be monitored via the '''School''' tab on the smartphone. The Zoi's current Academic Level can also be viewed in the '''Career App''' under '''My Information'''.

* Upon successful graduation, the Zoi's profile updates to include a '''university diploma'''.

* In the current development stage (early access), it is unclear if graduating provides any direct benefits or advantages related to career performance, as no jobs require a degree.
