Virtual-U (SimUniversity) Now Available

Posted by chrisd on from the hope-it-can-simulate-my-last-3-credits dept.

Ben Sawyer writes "The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Virtual U project recently shipped a new version our university simulator. This software simulation game, available at www.virtual-u.org lets you play as president of a U.S. university. You choose how faculty spend time, allocate funds, and decide if you should give special admission to athletes. Version 2.0 improves the model, and adds new features. The product is supported through a grant by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The product runs on Windows 2000/XP/9X/ME. The software is being used by a number of university education programs, and is part of an overall project to improve thinking about how universities are managed." No word on if virtual-u features a "BSA attack" scenario.

    Now I can see if this works!

    Will it also have a party simulator so I can join-in? :)

    You forgot the Animal House scenario. Shame Belushi isn't alive for a cameo. :(
