Well, why won't it install? If it stops at 66% or so, then it could be
a bad disc (those are apaprently common)

When I first got University EVERY Time I tried installing it, It would
install fine until it got to the final checking for updates (or maybe
updating) stage, then it would uninstall completely. I finely
ended up uninstalling my Sims 2 Completely and reinstalling both the
Sims 2 and University from scratch, which Worked! ^_^ If you go this
route, Make Sure that you Copy your Sims 2 Family Saves to another
part of your HD to keep from possibly loosing them...

On a positive note, I do remember reading in a Sims 2 Web Forum
somewhere AFTER I reinstalled everything, that there is a known
problem installing University. If I remember correctly, people that
have installed just one of the (I think 2) Sims 2 patches/updates have
problems installing University. To correct the problem (if I remember
correctly) install BOTH or NO updates (University will update your
Sims 2) to your Sims 2 game, then try installing University...


Good Luck! ^_^
