<p>UPenn: Transformers 2 <<<<Haha</p>

<p>In transformers two (Last poster beat me to it!) the school Sam goes to is supposed to be Princeton, but it’s on the Upenn campus. Neither school wanted to be associated with it though (funny enough, you can clearly see the Upenn shield in one scene).</p>

<p>UVA: Primary Colors (main guys are law students there and they show UVA’s Grounds).
Silence of the Lambs (Clarice went to UVA, says it’s “no charm school”)
Edward Scissorhands (brother wears UVA hat at dinner table with family and Edward)</p>

<p>Accepted - South Harmon Institute of Technology (S H I T)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Also in The Office are references to (and merchandise from) The University of Scranton.</p>

<p>Harvard - M.A.S.H. - Dr. Charles Emerson Winchester graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical school</p>

<p>Michigan and Michigan State in American Pie 1+2.</p>

<p>Tufts gets made fun of for being a safety school and Seinfeld and something else o can’t think of</p>

<p>Lynette from Desperate Housewives and Andy Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada both went to Northwestern and the main character(s) end up at Oberlin in Road Trip.</p>

<p>Dartmouth was also mentioned in one episode of the office (season 4) where Andy and Jim went golfing with an alum.</p>

“Bee Season” (Richard Gere plays a Berkeley prof)
“The OC”…;)</p>

<p>This sounds bad at first glance, but there’s a show called “Privileged” about a mom, her two daughters, and their tutor. The tutor’s job is to make the girls focus on their schoolwork so that they can get straight As and get into Duke. Developing them into Duke-worthy kids is basically the point of the show haha :)</p>

<p>Also, I never saw the movie (for obvious reasons), but apparently a girl wears a Duke shirt in Mamma Mia! for like 20 minutes.</p>

<p>Sportscenter- Pretty much every D1 school there is</p>

<p>UNC was mentioned once in “She’s the Man”; Lindsay Lohan said that she was going to be a Tar Heel early in the movie (don’t judge, my girlfriend made me watch it with her).</p>

<p>Jim Halpert from The Office is said to have received his degree from UNC.</p>

<p>University of Florida has alot</p>

<p>[University</a> of Florida in popular culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Florida_in_popular_culture]University”>University of Florida - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Occidental College - '70s movie: “The Other Side of The Mountain: The Jill Kinmont Story”. Vapid tearjerker filmed on campus.</p>

<p>No, Michael was making a joke.</p>

<p>I believe I read somewhere that U. of Oregon stood in for Faber College in Animal House.</p>
