college comedy

University humor film

College comedy is a film or television genre set at universities, typically featuring young protagonists navigating parties, romance, academic pressure, and coming-of-age challenges.

The tone ranges from raunchy (Animal House, Van Wilder) to heartfelt, but almost always treats college as a playground for hijinks and self-discovery rather than serious education.
