#CollegeInFiveWords: The college experience according to classic TV series

I love social media and I love Twitter and I especially love a good Twitter hashtag. This week, #CollegeIn5Words has been blowing up, with people trying to boil down the entire college experience to 5 words. Even the White House got in on this hashtag, tweeting “Community college should be free.” Mine would probably be: “How much does that cost?” or “But will food be free?” I remain focused on free food but in college I was basically rationing everything. (Ah, to be 19 and poor in New York again.) For this week’s #TBT column, I decided to apply the hashtag to classic fictional colleges (there were so many in the ’90s) and describe some of the best television portrayals of totally fake college life in 5 words. Here goes!
