Helen and Jake reminisce in his old room, whose student occupants seem only to hang out, listen to loud music, surf the web and pay no attention whatsoever to the visitors.
Later, back at the prep course in Lawndale, the students relate their experiences: Kevin tells of a hazing he was subjected to (to his delight); Brittany relates a [[poetry]] reading she attended and participated in; [[Mack Mackenzie|Mack]] mentions the "first-string exemption," which allows top athletes to never
==Trivia==
There's a coloring mistake in the classroom scene which depicts [[Jodie]] with white arms and legs, and in another [[Scarlett (character)|Scarlett's]] jacket becomes beige.
The famous [[Middleton College]] would be revealed in subsequent episodes to be a second-tier school at best, despite its fame.▼
Quinn ended up on a date with the "[[Push Comes to Love]]" instructor, on the premise that there was a make-out scholarship -

The song in question was "The Female of the Species" by the British band Space.
Kevin refers to "my big brothers" at college; this could be a metaphor for the members of the fraternity Kevin visited. "[[The Daria Database]]" and "[[Mart of Darkness]]" would present him as being his parents' first child.
Jane's views on college would resurface again in Season 5 and "[[Is It College Yet?]]", where she'd again not want to go to college, afraid she wouldn't be able to manage it and wouldn't be good enough to get in.
Daria only loses her essay-writing job because Helen found out: when Jake learns about it, his only concern is whether Daria remembered to get paid in cash ("good girl").
