What would you do when you catch up with your college friends?

Without fail, one in three responses will be – “We would go for a movie???. Movies bring in a lot of imagination and day-dreams of having a filmy college lifestyle. But, when you enter your college gate on the first day, there is this bitter feeling that it is actually not what you dreamt it was.

‘Yeah, it has its own fun being that way!’ – Agreed. But, the Real College differs quite a lot when compared to the Reel College. How? Read on to find out!

In films, you could sing a song teasing a girl on campus. In reality, she could go to an extent of beating the shit out of you. And she’ll do it in public, reducing you once and for all to the status of a porcupine on an F1 track.

These are the ways colleges in films are different from colleges in real life. Did you ever have an incident when something filmy happened in your college?
