Prepping for a new class heading off to college

<p>TheMom had a very large file to upload tonight, more than an hour at DSL speeds, so I went downstairs and rummaged around the DVD & VHS collections. Considering that students are now making their commitments and will be heading off to college in a few short months, it seemed the perfect time to watch “Animal House.” I recommend it. It should reassure all the parents who are nervous about the experience.</p>

<p>Are you trying to scare them, TheDad!? Add “Revenge of the Nerds” to the list, while you are at it!!</p>

3

<p>For the parents of juniors: Orange County.</p>

4

<p>There’s also PCU, which is equally scary.
We watched The History Boys over the weekend. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>Dean Vernon Wormer: Mr. Kroger: two C’s, two D’s and an F. That’s a 1.2 grade average. Congratulations, Kroger. You’re at the top of the Delta pledge class. Mr. Dorfman?
Flounder: Hello!
Dean Vernon Wormer: Zero point two… Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta house? One point six; four C’s and an F. A fine example you set! Daniel Simpson Day… HAS no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu - MR. BLUTARSKY… ZERO POINT ZERO.</p>

<p>Marite–you beat me to PCU! (Good thing I didn’t see that before D transfered ;)).</p>

7

<p>PCU?</p>

<p>IF: me?! Try to scare parents??! Aw g’won.</p>

<p>PCU is about Wesleyan. We actually watched it before S matriculated.</p>

<p>How about a movie for those contemplating an all girls school? ;)</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203088/[/url]”>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203088/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“Satan’s School for Girls” (2000) </p>

<p>Plot Outline: “A young woman enrolls at an all-girls college in New England to investigate her sister’s suicide and is slowly lured into a witchcraft cult by a quartet of students wanting to make her their fifth member of their evil circle.”</p>

<p>1SM: I am relieved by that description. It must be based on Wellesley, you couldn’t get four young women at Smith to agree on that much.</p>

<p>LOVE the witch or satan or whatever highschool and college movies- had some girls like that in my own school-</p>

12

<p>I preferred the original “Satan’s School for Girls” (Kate Jackson version).</p>

<p>How about “Accepted”?</p>

<p>firelyscout,</p>

<p>I was about to say that. The original was much better!</p>

<p>haha Animal House is such an amazing movie. I don’t even remember the first time I saw that movie; I’ve just always known it. So the other day my father and I were discussing colleges and Dartmouth came up. When I said I had no interest in it he proclaimed “you don’t want to live through Animal House! What’s wrong with you!” yeah I have to say I never thought he could be that cool. </p>

<p>Orange County is great as well though I haven’t seen the other films listed on here.</p>
