Classrooms Full!

Question

I keep getting complains about people that couldn't go to school. How could I fix this? I tried a lot of things (like multiple universities and school bus stops everywhere). Not sure how to fix this. All streets are High Density Streetcar Avenue

---

I builded two universities in the opposite sides of the city, and still have the problem while both got "Classroooms full" warnings at 7:15 am

Statistics:

• 3.566 of 4.400 Students enrolled
• School bus stop in every place (all streets are green)
• I have kids not enrolled living in the building NEXT to the university (literally in the same quarter!!)
• First university:
  • 1600 of 4500 students in class today
  • 800/800 students in class today
  • 3 dormitories
• Second university:
  • 1600 of 4500 students in class today
  • 800/800 students in class today

The layout of my city is more or less this:

Answer 1

You appear to misunderstand how Universities work.

• Universities have four classes a day: 6:00am, 9:00am, 12:00pm, and 3:00pm. At each of these times, any students in class will leave, and a call for more students will be put out.
• Over the course of these four classes, the University counts how many students it gets total for the day, which apparently in your case is 1600.
• At any one time, you can have a maximum of 800 students, hence the 800/800 number you see.
• After the "total students today" counter gets to a certain amount, you can upgrade the University so you can place down a new sub-school. Each new sub-school increases how many students can be in class at once; this is how you increase the University's capacity.
• There's no real point to having two separate Universities.
• Only Grade Schools and High Schools use school bus stops. College and University students do not take school buses, they walk, drive, or use public transit.
• If you don't have streetcars, don't bother upgrading to streetcar avenues, they're identical to high-density avenues aside from the streetcar tracks.

I can even see by your screenshots you've added a ton of dormitories, but no sub-schools. This is your problem: You need to increase how many desks are open at once by using the University's upgrades to place sub-schools. It's like a specialization HQ; you can upgrade it all you want, but you don't get any benefit until you put the extensions down.
