Proof that the problem was solved, finally!
This post is for those who play The Sims 3: University and when their sim goes back to university, the load screen just stands just before the finish and it never completes. This happened to me. I even let it stand for about 10 hours and it never completed. I was about to give up and reset the whole neighborhood when I found this advice by Summerrainajk on the Sims 3 forum. I tried it, and although I did not get the same message, it worked!
What I did was before leaving for University, I pressed F5 and chose to edit town. Then I selected the University town in the upper left corner, and moved a house there. I am not sure it was necessary to go that far, I think just adding a new bookshelf in the library is enough, but since I did not get the message that all actions would be canceled, I went all out. Then I saved and returned to my game, and now my Sim went back to uni without problems. I was actually surprised by how fast it loaded, so perhaps there had built up some slowness during his earlier visits as well.
Hopefully most people will find this on the Sims 3 forum, but you have to log in to read there, and I suppose many people will have lost their password or may even have changed their email address, in which case they can’t recover the password. When I started the Chaos Node, I had an email address given by my Internet Service Provider. Then they were bought up, and you can guess what happened. So any place I did not remember to change my email address in time, or where they did not have a policy that allowed you to change your email address and keep the same account, I was locked out. Hopefully I can help someone this way. But it is all thanks to Summerrainajk, and if you share this solution be sure to credit them and not me!

Oh, and one bonus not-really-cheat for Sims 3 University Life if you also have Sims 3 Seasons: The super Simmunity lifetime reward, which is fairly cheap at 7500 points, protects against nausea as well as flu and allergy. You can get freebie chocolate and soda at orientation, as much as you want, and they will feed you quickly when you are hungry, give you a sugar high positive moodlet, but without the nausea moodlet you would otherwise get. So it is a great snack! ^_^
The only problem is that when I tried to edit university town it loads at 95% as well and never finishes just like when you send your sims to university town. Can I get any help to why my load screen for editing university town won’t finish.
If you have any mods, I would try taking them out (putting them in a folder on the destop perhaps), load and save the game without mods, then open it and try. I have taken out my mods a couple times when I got stuck in Uni and could not get home. I lost some stuff in my inventory (I tend to have tons of stuff) but otherwise it worked fine afterwards when I put the mods back in.
If that is not your problem, I hope someone else can help you. That’s the things I have tried. I guess you could move your sims to a new town, but that would suck royally, since Sims 3 is all about the neighborhood.
May I ask what mods did you take out?
Also do I take out all of the mods I have? And thank you for your help.
I took out all my mods, it seemed to be simpler. I put them back in after I got my sim home and did not have any problems except that some of the inventory was gone.
But again, I am not sure this will work for you, there could be some other reason. When it just hangs without an error message, it is really hard to know what the problem is.
