campus drama

University social conflict

Campus drama refers to interpersonal conflicts, romantic entanglements, and social upheavals occurring within a school or university setting.

The term appears in two main contexts: as a genre label for television shows and novels set at educational institutions I've been binging Korean campus dramas, and as a description of real-life student conflicts that feel overwrought or theatrical I'm too old for this campus drama.
