So picking the right college is NOT just aesthetic - it can have an impact on your build. I will address this at the start of the next episode. Huge shout out to Cris Aghemo for pointing this out!

[@armandoaltabertgil5673]

Even more, at the very beginning of every campus you have available one college. In liberal arts campus I believe it's Police Academy, so you can build it without waiting for level up. Great video, great build!!

[@ifailatgaming4153]

at 11:45 you stated that you have to give a research grant, and that the research grant had a chance to succeed based on the academic work creation chance, this is not correct, they are seperate, and you can in fact gain 2 works 1 semester due to this

[@louisvandermeer1617]

I felt inspired after binge-watching this series, I build what you would consider your worst nightmare, oops... (I really tried I swear, just don't have time to landscape)

[@crisaghemo]

So the different unique departments available in each campus DO have an in game effect. For example, the School of Environmental Studies (Liberal Arts college) decreases city wide garbage accumulation, or the School of Tourism and Travel (Trade School) Increases income from all commercial zones. That means picking a particular campus over the others will have an effect on the city.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you! Pinned a comment addressing this and will address at the start of the next one.

[@richardlanglois172]

I went to write the same thing, but you beat me to it!

[@JacJGraham]

Today, I learned ___. Thank you!

[@Sylv0swe]

Any time I see a high grade paths in the game I will just imagine it is actually just stairs. I really wish we could have some of those. The high school I went to was on top of a hill. You had two choices to get there. The bendy road or the steep staircase. I would love to detail some hills with staircases!

[@starwave8228]

Something i like to do in vanilla with campus is , when i start my city i always leave greenspace around my highschool and elementary schools firstly for a safe fenced green space and park but later on when i get to make the university campus i upgrade the highschool and elementary areas using the smaller campus buildings..The caretaker house, The Dance club, Art Club, Futsal and so on .. Those small buildings not only give your highschool and elementary areas a custom look but it also spreads your higher education coverage for citizens that don't wanna travel to the main university thus also reducing a tiny bit of traffic. I pretend they're like those buildings where you stay at School for higher education rather than go to university. & i just find it a really effective use of those buildings for vanilla players :)

[@CityPlannerPlays]

That is a really creative use of the assets! I love that!!

[@starwave8228]

@@CityPlannerPlays thank you :)

[@patrickkiewiet1459]

I have been watching all episodes of this beginner guide in one evening, it’s so addicting to watch. You are like the Bob Ross of city building simulators. You just earned yourself a new subscriber, keep up the good work!

[@hatimkapadia2030]

I had stopped playing Cities a while back, but this series has brought back the enthusiasm to play it again. So thanks a lot for making it... You have definitely got a new Sub.. Looking forward to more of these episodes... 😁😁👍👌

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@rillip3]

I feel like the housing area you added near the university would have been more appropriate to be high density rather than low density. You'd expect college students to be moving into apartments of some sort rather than single family homes. You could probably make low density look better with some themes, but you'd have to be pretty picky.

[@anhack13]

Depends on the city/town. My undergrad university was in a small town in an old part of the city. The nearest off campus apartments were over a mile away. My Master's university was in a newer part of another small town nesstled into a bunch of single family housing and the nearest apartment complexes were 3-4 miles away at least.

[@thatrandomnoob8611]

Some cities have both. UofL in Louisville, Ky where I graduated from has higher density housing to the north of campus but to the east and south the campus is flanked by single family homes. With a train yard to the west of campus so not as much housing that direction. Like A&M theres trains that cut through campus, but they are cargo only. We also have a bus line that follows the edge of campus allows students to use it to get to and from the main parking lot as well as getting them from one side of campus to the other without walking. Since there’s no commuter parking in game it’s not really necessary but I try and replicate that in my builds if I can.

[@jasonnelson5745]

Perhaps it's not what could be classed as a "college ghetto"(where students live) but a residential neighborhood where faculty and professors live

[@YUMBL]

Thanks for the shoutout/ university! I’m honored :)

[@CityPlannerPlays]

You're doing great things! Love your channel!!

[@Zackf-zs4eo]

Not gonna lie, I've been looking forward to this one the most. I can never get my campuses to work properly; either spend too much or too little and no one seems to go to them regardless! Great tips all around!

[@BerendVrijmoed]

The campus special buildings are more than esthetic. For instance the police academy will boost your police force, the medical school will boost health care. Also when you start a campus 1 of 3 of these special buildings can be placed immediately, you didn't scroll down to the end. I do like the build, you just missed some information.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@jimbosarmoreddivision]

Thank you for giving Yumble a shoutout. It’s always nice to see KZbin supporting each other. I don’t understand why all don’t.

[@alexnini8558]

I have been following the channel for some time now and enjoying the laid-back city building. But after finding out your view on the Packers I am now by law required to tune in every time there is a new video. Very good content. I love to watch this series and relax after a long day at work. Thank you

[@ryantaylor5297]

Not sure if you see these comments but I’m learning a ton from you about city planning and traffic management. I wish I had seen this series 15 years ago when I started high school. I probably would have pursued civil engineering. I play this game for fun but your series specifically has a nice educational aspect to it.

[@Indreju]

I have been watching this series as a way to help me get back into the game and get excited about CS:II. I love the way you have been referencing other KZbinrs throughout the series, shows some real class. Thank you for this series!

[@-SagaciousFoo-]

I think it'd be great to make the downtown academic library part of the university by doing the "extend the campus to the building erase the in between" trick. There's lots of universities with downtown campus buildings, so it makes sense!

[@MMorangatang]

Every time I see issues with grading is when I wish they would add retaining wall functionality into the game.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Me too... me too!

[@evilotis01]

you can kinda fake them with quays if you use the mod that allows you to drop them everywhere

[@SkyWave32]

I just wanted to say that I am finally getting into Cities Skylines and it’s all because of City Planner! I love how you Bob Ross the city. I am usually into industry games but I appreciate being able to slow down and focus on smaller details like you do. I think it’s really beautiful.

[@glOckcOma]

Looks like when you modified the little fountain area on the campus center you relocated the statue instead of relocating the fountain square and left it behind some dorms. The statue was perfect in front of the study hall. Just a friendly fyi.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Getting that fixed in the next one. Thank you!!

[@PandasutikkuDesu]

PART 7! Let's go! I've been binging your Clearwater County and Ult beginners guide and I love them!

[@scamp5000]

So when you want to get academic works, you can get it in 2 ways. You can assign staff to a research project, you will get the award over time depending on how much money a week you put into it. It just means not 100% guaranteed in one academic year. (A percentage every year until 100% and award.) Or you can do a research grant, which is 100% guarantee you will get the award in the next year. Also, for the university to get the benefits of the library, shouldn't you bring the campus zone over it? It's like extending industry zones, otherwise it's just a library for regular use with only normal city benefits. You also moved the wrong park in the campus area. You moved the statue park instead of putting the fountain park back in place.

[@woltews]

a episode on terracing and steep terrain ( not just levelling everything ) would be great

[@Wico90YT]

A manually placed Fraternity/Sorority row would be a great idea. Even if it's just aesthetic and not functionally different.

[@Sneedminecraft]

A beautiful campus that this reminds me of is Santa Clara University in CA. Nice!

[@williamhuang8309]

YUMBL's interchange/intersection videos are the best... The Single-point Partial-Cloverleaf interchange is my favourite. Nice Shoutouts! I wonder who's next? WillCS? Edit: WillCS has already been mentioned... So maybe Real Civil Engineer? Or Akuras? Seriously though, Akuras is severely underrated for what he does.

[@harrydean5089]

Damn I love that academic library placement, I would totally visit that all the time if I lived in this city

[@IceDree]

Perfect timing, Phil, I'm planning on getting the Campus dlc sometime in the next week & your videos are a tremendous help.

[@JumpscareRodent]

I love this series. I started watching this game from the first recommended episode of the series like a week ago. I don't think ill play the game but I love watching you do this

[@charlottewardell601]

Would love it if they had the ability to mix your building styles in the way real universities do - often there is a mix of beautiful old buildings and very modern ones which feels more realistic

[@lukejams]

i'd love to see a heavily planned historic city center in your build someday as im curious to know how'd you design it

[@rolandmeiner4970]

I would like to offer a suggestion: The sports arenas create only private traffic. So, it would be wise to put things like subways there and extend one or two bus lanes to that location. That would reduce your traffic in that location significantly.

It is so cool learning more about the game and also each time I tune in i find about another cities content creator. Shout out to Yumbl TV.

After hearing that you watch the Packers and Bucks, I immediately knew that you were recreating "Bascom Hill" on campus. Go badgers!

Thank you so much for these videos. I’ve gone through the whole series. You have such a great way of explaining things and your passion for the game is very infectious. It’s helping me to be able enjoy the game in a pure creative sense and knowing how to solve the common problems that will occur.

You did a lot of terraforming in this episode, which I appreciate a lot! Is there a possibility you could do a terraforming episode/series? I’m still struggling a little with how to terraform effectively (especially on PS4 lol).

I do even more in the next one and explain a bit further. In the end when I'm explaining odds and ends, I'll be sure to address this, though.

I keep forgetting that you live in Wisconsin. So, it makes my heart happy when you talk about being a Packers fan. Because, i will always be a packers fan (even if i am not all that into football. Hahah) no matter where I live.

[@LiamTheoCreative]

Every time you eliminate something that has the rocky hills and creates those blowout areas of hills and terrain, I die a little. The settlements in the mountains have so many of those types of landscapes and it just makes it so beautiful and unique.

[@jpob5]

He does that a lot. I'm curious as to what his specialty in city planning is and if that comes into why he does. Although he did say he dislikes the look of the cliffs in a previous episode.

[@LiamTheoCreative]

@@jpob5 After watching a few more episodes, I think he just means he doesn't like the look of it in the game. It sounds like he's from Wisconsin and there's cetainly very hilly and cliff-esque builds

[@daveml66]

I think you missed the actual "School of" buildings you have unlocked at the end of the list. I don't know why CS puts them at the end after all the currently locked buildings. The campus looks great though!

[@wesleypeters4112]

The campus layout and unique beautiful architecture reminds me of Iowa State University in Ames, IA. There are a number of different architectural styles on that campus ranging from Second Empire, Tudor, and Classical Revival. I would also advise adding a university presidents house on campus. Iowa State and UNI both have residences for the president.

[@jps080576]

There's also some brutalist architecture on Iowa State campus.

I work in emergency management/grants development and one of our trickiest things to navigate with applicants is making sure they're requesting funds that benefit everyone they're responsible for. I found it very interesting how the use of school buses by the public is similar to this in the US because of funding eligibility requirements.

[@kelsanswer]

While technically true in some circumstances, each state will have their laws concerning buses. In mine, the only time you will see non-students on a school bus is when there is an extra curricular activity, such as an away-game for football or baseball, or perhaps in an emergency situation where the school district will rent buses. You will never see a random person getting onto a school bus. In fact, if someone did, the bus driver would most likely call the police and the person would be arrested/charged with trespassing and/or endangering students. If the driver decided to randomly pick someone up, they would themselves be charged.

I wish you planned that collector road through the campus. I love campi that are next to a major road. It would probably also help with the traffic leaving the stadiums.

[@ericlk47]

Hey, I love this series but one thing is bothering me a bit and it's transit. Tutoria needs more bus lines, especially in the industrial system. Right now it's a bit of a weird car dependant city. Outside the US it's not really common to have such a high dependency on cars, at the very least industrial workers should have bus lines to get to the factories. Ideally there would be some rail transportation. There is a lot of space available to extend passenger train lines all the way down to the zoo if desired. Hope you look at that in the next episode. Anyway nice video

I've seen steeper paths than that in real life at a real-life university. Butte, Montana to be specific. It's actually a technical college but my point being is that the area where the college is located is very, very hilly and the hills are steep. This is also Montana so you can only imagine what it is like in the winter. So a patch at that grade isn't out of the realm of possibility.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Yikes! I bet there are more than a few slips on those!

[@krisculin9679]

@@CityPlannerPlays I have been told that the university is very good about keeping them clear in the winter with a good layer of salt to melt the snow and sand for traction. Students adapt to the environment well enough. If you're going to school in Montana, you have no choice. Now, Montana State in Bozeman where I went to school had underground heating pipes that kept the main areas clear since the heat would warm the paths and melt the snow. But MSU is mostly flat with few hills. Having a mountain bike for transportation from the dorm to the main part of campus helps a lot.

[@embernoble8510]

i find him caring more about the terrain than the people/houses funny

Pro tip: you don't have to place campus or park life buildings on paths. You can place them anywhere and then create path. Sometimes, it helps better get things lined up.

Those formal "lawns" and "malls" (original term for those wide open spaces) are designed in the French Garden way, thus the paths across tend to be very very formal, not even that many of those neoclassical campuses even deign to give their students diagonals to walk across the mall XD

[@gracewalker5001]

It occurred to me because of this video that my university campus doesn't actually have a ton of desire paths. This is probably at least partially due to the amount of paving (there are a lot of streets and paths and one whole section of campus is actually all paved because it's its own roof) but even where there is a ton of grass, no defined paths. Also I am light heartedly judging the amount of space between your dorms. That's so far. (I've never played, this is from the perspective of a college student.)
