college could definitely work, although rockstar don't really seem the type to do that just to avoid controversy as the article suggests
the other issue is whether it needs to be Jimmy as the protagonist again. sure, it's great to get a continuation of the story but the various GTA spinoffs and sequels all featured different playable characters and made that work very well. new characters offer a lot of potential;
a new student at Bullworth, but with a different personality to Jimmy
a new student at a different school nearby so there's some crossover characters and maybe a rivalry between the schools
a student from Bully 1 playing the same timeframe from a different angle, kind of like the GTA4 spinoffs
a different character at another school/college with some of the old Bullworth gang there
that's not to say that we shouldn't play Jimmy in the sequel, but that rockstar have a lot of options
