<p>At least the MTV version of it. Starts tonight.(had a preview show last night)</p>
<p>UW-Madison:</a> ?College Life? appears to fall short in depiction (April 13, 2009)</p>
<p>Lol, MTV? I haven’t watched MTV in 3 years It’s just going to be a bunch of kids drinking, flirting, and making bad decisions.</p>
<p>My friend’s cousin’s roommate slept with the producer of the show. No joke.</p>
<p>Article sounds right. MTV wanted to do an episode of MADE at my high school, but the district ultimately wouldn’t allow it, because they thought the show wouldn’t adequately represent the school. (Or something along those lines. This was 2 years ago.)</p>
<p>MTV’s “Reality” is not real. Those people sound surprised.
The Hills, anyone?</p>
<p>I saw part of the preview last night, and will probably end up watching it tonight. The mini preview after the preview last night made it seem way dramatic, like one of the guys having to move out because of drinking. Even in last night’s preview, after he got a ticket or warning for drinking in his room, he goes right back to it. I think it just reflects off of their poor choices and everything.</p>
<p>It sucked…</p>
<p>Surely you hadn’t given your hopes up?</p>
<p>Seems pretty accurate of Madison.</p>
<p>I guess the preview on Sunday was the exact same as the one aired Monday</p>
<p>I tried to watch it but I turned it off midway into the show. :-/</p>
<p>Haha didn’t like it huh?</p>
<p>^Nah. I thought the students they picked were pretty boring. I do like the concept though.</p>
<p>I thought the students they picked were too stupid. You get caught drinking, risk expulsion, so you do it again on the same night?</p>
<p>I thought it was a pretty bad show, but I’m not going to complain about the people. Somewhat diverse group.</p>
<p>Drama queen girl. Somewhat normal girl with crazy boyfriend. Party guy. Kid from rich suburb of Chicago who thinks he’s above things. Doesn’t sound all that out of the realm.</p>
<p>The reason the show sucks is because they aren’t allowed to film anything worthwhile. Only off campus and in their room with the door closed. </p>
<p>The guy who was playing beer pong is indeed an idiot. You don’t do that crap in your dorm room. You have to have stuff that you can put away quite easily, as the RA’s aren’t allowed to search your room. A mini keg? haha, only in Wisconsin. The Madison math courses are supposed to be really hard, so it’s not really shocking that he failed his test so badly. I know a lot of people at Madison who did poorly on their first set of midterms, not as bad as him, but still low. It’s a tough school.</p>
<p>I think part of the drinking problem with Madison is that they don’t have enough dorm housing for all freshman, so a bunch of them are already off campus, and there is a strong correlation between being off campus and drinking.</p>
