In 1984, one of the biggest movies was a comedy titled, Revenge of the Nerds.  It starred a young Anthony Edwards, Julie Montgomery, Robert Carradine, and Ted McGinley and followed the exploits of a group of nerds who were entering college.

The movie was filled with all kinds of teenage shenanigans that basically centered around drinking and the pursuit of girls.  With all the partying, when did these students actually attend classes?  More importantly, is that what college life is really like?
