You've been watching to many American Pie movies. College students are insanely focused because they know how tough the competition is. No one has time to party.

At Ivies and other top 20 schools, I'd agree. Maybe even the top 50. Beyond that, I think the American Pie stereotypes are closer to the norm than you might think.

This was my experience and yes I went to a crappy school.

Can you give me an example of an American Pie university? Because I don't believe you.
