[v0.5] Lesbian MC games are rare. Harem-ish lesbian games are even more so. Progressive harem-ish lesbian games without blackmail and corruption basically don't exist. Well, they didn't, until now 
There is no story or plot. Under most circumstances, I would deduct a point or two for that, but Yuri University is trying to do something unique here. It deserves a chance at success, and it'd be a shame to dismiss it for something it doesn't do.
Gameplay wise, it's a run-of-the-mill sandbox, with the MC trying to get in the pants of everyone she meets. It's cutesy and wholesome, with a commendable focus on consent and BDSM etiquette.
I will deduct one point for Alice, though. Early in the game, she is presented as straight and even mentions a past boyfriend. When asked, she explicitly says she never fancied MC, and only sees her as a friend.
And yet, pretty much immediately after that, she starts doing lewd stuff with MC, and labels herself "bi-curious". Wouldn't you know it, she did find MC attractive in the past! All she needed was a good bit of fingering and mutual masturbation to see the error of her ways!
In any other game, this stuff wouldn't bother me - it wouldn't even register, since the bar is so low. In Yuri University, though, it reads like cutesy conversion therapy. It implies that straight women are just a mutual masturbation session away from being bi. That's just... wrong, and it's disappointing to see. There was a good opportunity here to explore what life is like being straight in a house full of queer girls. Not only the opportunity is missed, it's missed in a way that undermines the game's politics. And for that, I deduct a point.
Still, Yuri University is a much better game than its contemporaries, and is well worth a look
