Ahhhh college movies. They shape our expectations. They crack us up. And most importantly, they make us vow to live up to their standards of what partying and college life should look like.

Who doesn’t want their college experience to resemble those from their favorite movies? Read on for the top 5 college movies and hopefully you’ll get some inspiration on how to channel your favorite college movies at your very own college!

5. Accepted– After getting rejected from every school he applied to, a desperate Bartleby (Justin Long) creates his own college, where other rejects flock to to live the college life minus the work.

Do it:

-Dress your pledges in hot dog costumes and have them stand outside yelling: “Ask me about my wiener!”

Memorable quote: “Health insurance my ass! They don’t pay for stuff. You get sick on a Friday, they only pay from Monday through Thursday. You go to doctor A, they only pay for doctor B. You break your penis, they only fix vaginas!”

4. Van Wilder– Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) has been attending Coolidge College for 7 whole years. With no real goals, and no intention of leaving any time soon, Van’s father decides to show him some tough love and stops paying his tuition. Van decides theres only one way to get what he wants…make money by partying!

Do it:

-Take ahold of your social life and plan a kick-ass party!

-Drive around campus in your own personal golf cart (we can dream, right?)

Memorable quote: “I know Ms. Pac-Man is special. She’s fun. She’s cute. She swallows.”

3. Revenge of the Nerds– A group of nerds and outcasts decides to join together and get back at the fraternity that’s constantly taunting them.

Do it:

-Sorority house panty raid

Memorable quote: “Jocks only think about sports, nerds only think about sex.”

2. Old School– Friends Mitch (Luke Wilson), Frank (Will Ferrell) and Bernard (Vince Vaughn), bored with their “grown-up” lives, come up with a genius idea: to form a fraternity in hopes of reliving their college years.

Do it:

-Make Frank the Tank proud and go streaking!

-KY Jelly wrestling match

Otter: “Germans?”

Boon: “Forget it, he’s rolling.”
