— Posted by Stephanie Brooks
The summer is now over which means soon you will embark on your journey as a college freshmen. That said, what better way to get excited about your future “college adventures” than by watching some favorite college-themed flicks that were made to give students a little taste of campus life? While some of the movies that made this list aren’t exactly “realistic” interpretations of what your college experience will be like, they’re still a great way to have a laugh or two.
Accepted: Starring Jonah Hill, Justin Long, Blake Lively (2006)
Lesson: Just a reminder of how fortunate you are to call yourself a college student—no matter if you’re at an Ivy League, state college, or community college.
Old School: Starring Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson (2003)
Lesson: Enjoy college life to the fullest while you’re a student— you don’t want to look back with regrets.

Plot: Will Hunting, a troubled 20-year-old janitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a secret math wiz.

Hunting struggles coming to terms with his ingenious mind and seeks the help of a psychologist.
