To lose inTwo Point Campus, there is only one known way: running out of cash. If monthly income falls below a certain threshold, then the map forces the player to restart. This might sound easy, but on tougher maps, getting into a death spiral is fairly easy.

In some cases, it’s impossible to recover. Fire all the staff to try and cut costs and the students will drop out. As grades get worse, money gets even lower. Those who are looking to be business savvy in their investments are well rewarded with plenty of cash inTwo Point Campus.
Keep Special Maps In Mind
A couple of the maps do not have traditional finance mechanisms. As such, it must be addressed in this guide. Upper Etching requires that students level up before receiving one-time payments.Beating Breaking Pointrequires the understanding that cash is dispensed based on happiness instead of the usual tuition and experience.
Those two maps can still benefit from some of the wisdom here. Just remember that they have different rules and should be treated differently. The same tactics don’t work for every map, be aware of the situation.
Start Small
One of the easiest ways to lose is right off of the bat. Players get a handful of theirrooms upgradedto level ten prestige right away, hire the best teachers, get plenty of janitors to keep the campus clean, and then have no money for anything else.
Since larger class sizes pay more, the weakest income is always going to be at the start of the game. Do not provide more staff than is required. After four years, there will be a bustle of students forking over cash. Start slow and work up to this point.
Upgrade Rooms
Upgraded rooms provide better benefits to those who use them. In learning situations, this means better grades and faster leveling. For dorms, this will reduce the time students spend asleep. Why does increasing student levels matter so much?
Students pay based on experience, not just tuition. As they gain levels, they’ll pay more money. Keeping these rooms sparkly will makes students happy, healthy, and get to learning and leveling faster. That directly translates to more money.
Train The Staff
There is an understandable hesitancy to level staff members. It’s true, afterstaff members get to training, they will demand higher salaries. But this is not the way a good investor should think of the problem. Looking at the math, training almost always pays for itself.

For example, a teacher with level ten teaching will demand an extra few hundred dollars over a level one teacher. But the students will pay thousands of extra per class in extra levels. Janitors who are fast and trained allow players to hire fewer janitors.
Nonstop Marketing Campaigns
One of the simplest ways to get more cash is to get more students. Marketing campaigns cost money, sure, but each campaign brings in a wave of new students. A campaign can be completed multiple times every year and each one delivers more tuition-paying kids.
This does require a staffer to work full-time on the project and the cost of the campaigns themselves, but the resulting wages aren’t even close. If the class is a four-year course, these new students will be shelling out the big bucks every month for a long time.
Upgrade Equipment
One of the easiest ways to get students to learn faster is to soup up their classrooms. Every Lecture Theatre has a lectern that can be upgraded twice. Much like the advice of increasing every room’s prestige, this has an identical effect.
Beyond the equipment in the educational rooms and Lecture Theatres, areas like Medical Offices have Omni-Cure units that also be upgraded twice. The less time students spend patching up wounds, the better. Keep themfixed up when they breakand watch the money come rolling in.
Cut Costs On Food
Vending machine food might not sound exciting or very healthy, but the food at least pays for itself. Add about four of these per every fifty or so students and the kids will get full and stay full on snacks. There is wisdom in avoiding the healthier options.
The kiosks require full-time employees that do not usually cover the cost of the food they sell. Unless healthiness is getting worse, there isn’t a great reason to have them around. Here’s a solid tip:finding students who have personal goalsof visiting a specific kiosk do not actually have to eat from that kiosk. Build the structure but leave it unmanned, they’ll visit it and complete the requirement.
Choose Longer Courses
When choosing a new course, each one will have a time to complete listed. Most are two to three years while one (General Knowledge) needs only a single year and another (School of Thought) requires a full four years. For the most money, longer courses are better.

When students graduate, they take their tuition with them. So if players have a four-year course, they’re getting four years of money at once. The budget gets pretty easy to manage in this situation after year three, even if the course itself is listed as “hard.”
Take Out Smart Loans
In the real world, it’s very difficult to justify taking out loans. They always, without fail, benefit the bank, since they’ll get their money plus some back. But is there a time to take them out? Yes, large businesses regularlytake out smart loansknowing they can recoup the costs.
And that’s a potential situation here as well. If players are short on money they need for a teacher or room, it’s better to take out the loan and get the students educated than to let them fail. This also goes for non-academic activities, like parties, if students are on the cusp of dropping out from boredom.
Max Out Courses
If players are going toupgrade a course, go big. Each level does increase the teachers and facilities required, but it comes with the added benefit of bringing in more students. This doesn’t stop at just the numbers game.
Staff can train higher with higher courses as well, so there is extra quality to go along with the quantity. In a long game or in the sandbox, not having a course at level ten is passing up on some very easy money.
