I've got five specific errors/annoyances that I'm just going to throw out there.
1. When returning to Uni for a second term, a notification for the Meet and Greet happens, but when your Sim autonomously tries to attend it, there's a jump bug and the interaction cancels. It still shows up on the map as an event, but trying to Attend manually just cancels out. If you send the Sim to the building, none of the Meet and Greet tables are there. It makes sense not to have a Meet and Greet after the Sim has already been to Uni Town once, but it would be nice if the notifications, etc. disappeared.
I just sent my first sim for yet another therm to university and I was surprised he had to go to yet another meet & greet. Mine didn't glitch though so the problem might be on your end?

2. Using the same Sim, I had to try three different times to get him to graduate and go home without error. This issue has been widely reported, and Google Fu adequately illustrates what happens when it borks. For me, I have fixed the problem by A) Not adding a new trait, and/or B) not inviting anyone to graduation. I'm not sure which one fixed it, or whether either of them fixed it, but not doing those two things resulted in a successful graduation and trip home.
According to Crinrict's blog (read it first next EP, saves you a lot of headaches) inviting people to the graduation has almost a 100% chance of making it glitch. This has been reported at least a week ago. I keep her blog bookmarked because she's the quickest to keep track of bugs and glitches with every new EP or other TS3 releases.

Has anyone tried sending a second generation to University? I sent the daughter of one of my sims and when she arrived her father had de-aged from elder to a teen in high school in the relationship panel. The sim also jumped back to her dorm when I sent her to the meet and greet, and it was so glitchy in general that I quit without saving. Not sure if this is due to PEBKAC or EA.

Are you using Twallan's ErrorTrap?

The "Meet and Greet" error : Entirely my bad.
ErrorTrap was failing to handle hidden objects, in the same manner it had issues regarding Festival Lots when Seasons was released
The mod has now been updated to handle them correctly.
If your Student Union lot is already mangled, my apologies regarding that, however you will need to replace it with a new copy.

5. Jesus H. Christ, ENOUGH WITH PLAYING THE DAMN GUITARS. I think I spend the majority of a Sim's party attendance clicking "Take a Break from Playing" on other Sims. I can of course seek out a no autonomous mod for this, but I don't necessarily want it to NEVER happen for non-controlled Sims.
You could use a less autonomous guitar mod (registration required to view and download.)

I was, but I removed it precisely because there were reports of it causing the issue. Cleared caches, etc., but it's the same result without it.
ETA: From his explanation, I see why. Herp derp.

These might be worth a shot. I will check them out. Baa.
LittleBear:
My sim recently "got caught cheating" on her final exam, except she wasn't.
She didn't make a cheat sheet or look for test answers before the exam. I certainly didn't select the cheat tone from the drop-down menu during the exam. So far those are the only ways I know of to cheat. She didn't talk to anyone either, so if there's a way to cheat through socialization, it's ruled out.
She got booted from the building, has the cheated moodlet and lost all of her academic progress. Super annoying.
