How quickly can I get 3-stars in Two Point Campus? 

There are multiple factors that will affect how long it takes you to achieve a 3-star rating on any given campus. Factors such as increasing difficulty with higher levels, unique challenges at themed schools, as well as your own strengths in budgeting and management will affect your total amount of time.

Even with these variables, it will take you at least three in-game years. This is because of the length of time it takes the initial students who entered your school in the first year to graduate. On average, it may take you about five in-game years to get three stars.
