This article discusses that a lot of older generations this that college is full of a bunch of crazy party animals. Television and movies portray college life as different than what they really are.
Movies and television make say: like to party, stay out late, completely put aside their studies.

Truth is- hours of class during the day, work at least 20 hours, then study time at night or early morning. many college students are full of sleep depervation.

MTV show "Undressed" depicts college students with nothing but raging hormones. There are some that fit this category but many are concerned with that. The same goes for the Spring Break specials.

stereotypes for college life and the students are usually completely false.
