I really can’t give MTV’s new series “College Life” enough praise.  I’m not a huge fan of the whole reality thing, but since the show is shot by the students themselves it really puts a good spin on a tired genre.

Every episode is chocked-full of the real life drama of being an actual freshman at one of America’s largest party schools – the University of Wisconsin. Check out for yourself, you can watch all the episodes online in full here.

We caught up with the star’s of the show Josh, Kevin, Jordan and Andrea and asked them a few questions about  hooking-up, drinking, studying and if women can be considered pimps and men sluts. (more…)

Attention USA Today, thank you for telling us something that we already know.

A recent study has announced that, “nearly half of college freshmen who drink alcohol spend more time drinking each week than they do studying. Students who said they had at least one drink in the past 14 days spent an average 10.2 hours a week drinking.”

When high school students make the transition to college they have a go big or go home attitude when it comes to drinking and doing other “college” activities.

This could be why we see so many pictures popping up on Facebook of guys drunkenly shaming each other and girls behaving badly.

Note to freshman: When living with a roommate, torture tactics allow you to claim the spot as top dog in the living arrangement.

They also allow for a valuable bonding experience as your roommate tries to laugh off the fear, confusion and, at times, utter anger he will be confronted with when you use one of the following techniques. I must say, use them sparingly and watch your back because once the bridge is crossed and you implement one of these tactics, you are open for retaliation.

Nefarious Nike Placement, or Just a Mistake?

Syracuse legend Ernie Davis died in 1963. Nike gave birth to its iconic swoosh in 1971. The school unveiled a statue of the Elmira Express recently. Mysteriously, with a swoosh or two.

The school claims it was a simple mistake, and the sculptor is on the case. Be interesting to see how this one plays out. [The Big Lead]

Sarah Palin Was Big Into College Hopping

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin seems to have switched colleges at least six times in six years, including two stints at the University of Idaho before graduating from there in 1987.

Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred. There was no indication any were contacted as part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate John McCain’s campaign. [ABC News]

I’m a progressive girl. I’m all about equality.But give me my own bathroom.

Co-ed bathrooms are one of college’s biggest mysteries. Who thought it would be a good idea? Who decided that it would be totally cool to completely devoid college kids of any type of privacy? Did none of the inventors of co-ed bathrooms ever have a crush?

And if they did, how could they fathom perhaps bumping into that crash while they still had pimple stuff on their face and crow’s nest on top of their head?

I just don’t understand it. The bathroom is sacred. Private. It’s not a place I want to discuss homework or chat about the newest TV show.

I don’t want to step out of the shower and come face to face with the captain of the lacrosse team. I don’t need that sort of horrible awkwardness in my life. (more…)
