The Arts Quad has 8 departments with a common facade surrounding a central courtyard:
- Architecture
- Culinary Arts
- Dance
- Fine Arts
- Game Design
- Image Arts

Architecture

"Smash outdated design concepts."

This lot is primarily decorative. You may enjoy smashing the dollhouses or putting soap into the fountain. There are desks for homework and a coffee machine to keep you awake. If you are interested in making your own university departments, this is one of the lots which could easily be sacrificed.

Lot Size: 1x1 with roads at front and right (2x2 total).
Lot Price: $33,037

Culinary Arts

"Cook culinary confections."

One of the main teaching lots. You can share your cooking skills with other sims, or learn from them. Thinking caps are provided to make the skill sharing experience even better. A stereo will keep the other students occupied while you work.

Lot Size: 1x1 with roads at front and right (2x2 total).
Lot Price: $27,998

Default Arts Quad (continued)
Dance

"Express yourself with dance."

This corner lot is mostly empty, to allow you and your friends enough room to work on your dance skills. If you're finding the other lots too restrictive, this should feel less claustrophobic. Mirrors on two walls further open the room, and give you plenty of chances to watch other sim's dancing techniques.

This lot could be sacrificed if you need room for a new department, since stereos are ubiquitous on campus.

Lot Size: 1x1 with roads at front and right (2x2 total).
Lot Price: $27,670
Equipment:
- Stereo
Skills:
- Hidden dance skill

Fine Arts

"Paint a creative masterpiece."

This is one of the more traditional skill lots. Easels allow you to work on your creativity skill by yourself, although we do provide thinking caps to make the learning easier, if you wish. There is also a small gallery of paintings and sculptures to inspire you and a stereo to entertain the other students.

The courtyard contains a small fountain and additional sculptures.

Lot Size: 1x2 with road at front (1x3 total)
Lot Price: $73,556

Nutritional Science

"Cook up something nutritious."

Although this lot may be viewed as a traditional skill lot, it really has another purpose.

If you're living in a dorm, you know how difficult it can be to get near the stove. That silly cook won't move away, even when there are ample dishes available to the dormies. If you're having this problem, then this is a great place to come when you have a desire to cook.

This lot is also helpful if you're renting a place that has poor kitchen facilities. The high-quality equipment on this lot will help you to cook more nutritious meals.

Lot Size: 1x1 with road at front (1x2 total)
Lot Price: $39,320
Equipment:
- Quality kitchen equipment.
Skills:

Physics

"Analyze the movement and interaction of particles."

This corner lot has equipment which will allow you to study physics firsthand. We wanted to put in a large particle collider under the campus, but there just wasn't enough room on such a tiny island. Luckily, you can still study the secrets of the universe with these smaller above-ground colliders, and have fun while you're doing it.

"Your one-stop shopping experience."

If it can be purchased in the base-game, then you'll find it here: groceries, clothing, magazines, and games. We also sell university gadgets.

Since everything is sold in one store, this will generate only one NPC to staff the cash register. If you want to minimize the number of townies that the game generates, this is the lot for you.

Default Dorms
Brainania has three dorms which are located across the road from the beach on one side of the island. All three dorms are small, with only 7 or 8 students per dorm. Although you'll find these dorms more comfortable and appealing than the ones in EA universities, we've made an effort to keep them less expensive per student than the ones that EA provides.

Apodemus Dorm

This dorm has a mixture of rooms available: 2 large rooms with double beds, 2 medium rooms with single beds, and 4 small rooms.

Lot Size: 2x2 with road at front (2x3 total).
Lot Price: $11,896

Double Double Dorm

Four double rooms with double beds. Great for sharing with your childhood sweetheart or best friend. Can be modified to have only one dorm door per room, if you'd prefer, for an increased cost per sim.

Default Rental Houses
Across the road from the beach, on the other side of the island from the dorms, you'll find 4 rental houses. These houses are based on some of the most popular of my Fledgling Flats series.

Each house has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with accommodations for 4 sims including 1 double bed and 2 single beds. The houses are fully furnished with skill items, computer, TV, stereo, a functional kitchen and adequate seating in both the living room and dining room.

Rental prices are fairly high, but still low enough for one sim with enough scholarships. If you share these houses, the rental price is more reasonable. Furnishings can also be altered to reduce the rental price, if desired.

1 Ocean View Drive

A modification of 9 Fledgling Flats.

Lot Size: 2x1 with road at front (2x2 total).
Lot Price: $5,146 (rental)
