Modern college game

Gender identity-based class system.

The idea is more 90s culture college with modern technology.
None of that ideology liberal crud.

You know going to class going to parties and all that jazz.
It will eventually go into horror then sci-fi but not until after a few sessions just to mess with the PC's who think it's a modern game

You'll need to have a mechanism for peer popularity/social status as a seperate rating from the character's social standing and charisma.
It's possible to be someone that adults view as a "good kid" through being studious and polite, yet is viewed as "most likely to become school shooter" by the other students...

First off, have every player ID what they're major is (if any) and why they are going to college. Really dig into the kind of person they are, especially hobbies or passions or off time stuff. This should spare you from the short hand 'i'm the goth' type shit as well as give a barometer of what you may need to reference as far as classes and shit.

As far as parties, ID if they have any friends or social spheres outside of the party, this will give a rough idea of what they can get into and how they'll be received.

Living situations are also important, as it's the out of class time that they plot has room to work; so figure out if they're dormrats or if they have something else arranged.

Finally,don't be afraid to humanize your shit, most college students are just out of high school and not terribly good at living as adults. Play with that, give them some complicated shit to live through like a neighbor who is a camwhore or a drug addict, or maybe some mistake goes down because one doesn't know how to cook or drive. You can use this simple shit to serve as a foil for the real plot.

Those are just off the top of my head, if I knew more I could give more.

Do it like it works in some european colleges/universities: have studens pay money to retake tests they fail.

Then have an oportunity for a mini adventure to try to get the jock/barbarian/whatever to pass. Sneak away and steal a test beforehand, sweettalk an employee, actually get him to study, I dunno. Actually, make it so everyone has to put time away to study, and figgure out a way for that to affect their test outcome. Then penalize them monetarily if they fail, or give bonus lore/knowledge if they succeed well enough. They'll hate it.
