Hollywood films have presented audiences with stories of campus
life for nearly a century, shaping popular perceptions of our
colleges and universities and the students who attend them. In the
process, these cinematic depictions of campus life have even
altered the attitudes and behavior of college students themselves,
serving as both a mirror of and a model for collegiate attitudes
and behavior. One can only imagine how many high school seniors
enter college today with the hopes of living the proverbial Animal
House or PCU Greek experience, or how many have worried over the
SAT and college admissions after watching more recent movies like
2004's ""The Perfect Score"".This book explores themes of college
life in 680 live-action, theatrically released, feature-length
films set in the United States and released between 1915 and 2006,
evaluating how these movies both reflected and distorted the
reality of undergraduate life. The topics include college
admissions, the freshman experience, academic work,
professor-student relations, student romance, fraternity and
sorority life, sports, political activism, and other
extracurricular activities. The book also includes a complete
filmography and 65 illustrations.
