60 Netizens Share The Wildest College Experiences That Still Live Rent-Free In Their Heads

"Friend" of mine loved to run his mouth even though he couldn't back it up. I got involved in many fights because of this guy and got troubles several times.

Went to a frat party at a different college than our own one night, and this guy ran his mouth to the wrong person. Ended up getting a bottle of goldslogger broken over his head. Drove him to the ER where he got 30 staples put in. Luckily it was in his own car.

I went to spring break, ended up staying for three weeks, and had to drop my college classes for the semester. I went to spring break with some friends and planned to stay for about a week, just the days we had off of school. Well, I ended up meeting up with some old friends who were going to a different college, they had the following week off of school and asked me to stay to hang out with them. So I did. Then I met some random people who invited me to stay with them the following week and I did. Somewhere in the middle I realized that I was missing a lot of class and probably some tests, so I used the automated phone line to drop all of my classes (this was back in the 90's, so no way to do this on computer).

Every single time I make cookies I eat like half the dough raw. it’s so much better than the baked version tbh. My friends rave about my baking but little do they know the real MVP is the uncooked stuff. Picked up this habit during late-night munchies in the dorm kitchen and it stuck forever. My roommate keeps warning me I’m gonna get salmonella but I’m still here thriving.

My freshman year I lived in a dorm where everyone had their own private bathroom. As a student who came from another part of the world, I was used to having an attachable bidet on my toilet. After a couple weeks of using only toilet paper I gave myself hemorrhoids and got frustrated. I decided to order a $25 bidet from amazon and installed it into my toilet. Soon after I caught my roommate circling our toilet like a confused animal trying to understand how it worked. You activated the bidet by turning a dial numbered 1-5. He soon discovered that if you turned it to 5, the bidet had enough water pressure to shoot a perfect stream to anyone who was within 6 ft. of our bathroom door. A trend of luring people into our room and "bidet blasting" them ensued. Soon enough, my other floormates all installed bidets to their toilets so they could join in the fun as well. People from other dorms learned of the trend and the school had to ban bidets because of how much water damage they caused. I just wanted it clean.

TLDR: Started a bidet blasting fad in my dorm.

First week at college, long week but finally it's Friday. I finally get back from practice to my room (13th floor), and sit down to relax, when all of a sudden the fire alarm goes off, because of course it does. So i grab my stuff, and prepare for the hike down 13 floors worth of of stairs. As I leave my room, I see the door across the hall fly open. Out comes one of the girls from across the hall, except it's pretty obvious she has been in the shower, and has apparently forgotten to get dressed before leaving the building.

its not that crazy. i was in software engineering curse.

in a programming class, a girl were talking with a group of friends in the back of the room about daily life and someone asked the group to go out and have some coffee.

she said she didnt drink coffee and the whole class stoped what they were doing and started to stare at her like she was a witch.

This one time, in college, the school closed down and i got stuck with the 80k student debt and no degree.

Freshman year I came home early from a party & found my lit prof (that’s in his mid-40s, married) sitting on our living room couch laughing with my mom after their ‘casual dinner.’ Since she also works at our school. She said it was just grading papers. He left fast. No clue if they did anything inappropriate.

A student passed away in my res from meningitis. Very sad.

I finally have to admit it… I’ve been the one secretly replacing the office coffee with decaf for three months straight. Watched my entire team slowly unravel while pretending to be just as tired as them. Zero remorse. Sorry not sorry.

I cheated on every exam in college by hiding formulas inside my water bottle label. Never got caught. Still feel zero guilt. Sorry, Mom.

I have a water bottle that I fill up with vodka and take with me everywhere I go, even work. During my shifts I'm lowkey sipping on my vodka and I will usually finish the whole thing before I finish work. I have a back up flask incase, but I usually don't need it.
I actually started doing this back in high school when I was 16. Teachers and fellow students always thought I was drinking water. Nobody suspects a thing because I've always got chewing gum, mints and sprays to mask it. Plus the vodka scent isn't as strong as other alcohol. In my opinion anyway. People think I'm super extroverted and friendly, but really I'm just semi drunk all the time.

Friend was a volunteer firefighter. We hated our neighbors, so one night after drinking way too much, my buddy walked over and lit a couch on fire that was on the curb in front of their house. After a minute or so it was going pretty good and he put on his gear and ran around the block and over to their yard (at this point several of them had came outside and were awkwardly staring at the blaze unsure of what to do). He proceeded to grill them about why they lit their couch on fire and why hadn't they tried to put it out yet, though one kid claimed he had seen a van drive by with a flamethrower. They bumbled through all of his questions (we are watching from our porch a few houses down) and asked him how he got there so fast. He told them he was a part of a local neighborhood response unit designed for efficiency

That's when we heard actual fire sirens coming and realized someone had called the real fire department. He took off down the street the way he came and twenty or so seconds later a real fire engine showed up and we hid inside our house watching and laughing like hyenas.

Probably not the craziest but it's definitely one of the most entertaining ones.

I had to pay a lot of money for one textbook.

I earned enough credits to graduate in 4 years.

My philosophy professor got fired for telling a student, "...you're going to hell!" 12 years later and the irony still baffles me.

Me and my roommate, who's actually a close friend of mine, are both aiming for med school. He's always been better than me academically, sitting around a 3.95 GPA, super disciplined, always ahead. Last fall during final exam week in early December, I knew he kept everything on his iPad all his notes, summaries, even exam prep and he never really shared them with anyone. I had memorized his password without him knowing, and one day while he was out, I went on his iPad and DELETED all of his notes. He ended up LWD'ing 2 of his 6 courses and finishing the semester with around a 3.2 GPA. Since then he's been really down... honestly depressed. Even this semester,although he's doing a bit better, he's still not performing like he used to. I regret what I did every single day. At the time I convinced myself it was "necessary" because of the pressure and competition, but now I just feel sick about it. I don't know if I should tell him, or just live with it. What would you do?

I let my roommate think our $1200 water bill was all from his long showers. I was secretly running a crypto mining rig in my closet 24/7 that spiked our usage. He paid the full extra $400 while I stayed quiet. Still feel like trash about it.

On a pub crawl, between pubs, we came across this karate type class that had glass windows and the door was open. My mate in his drunken stupor thought it would be a good idea to run in screaming.

As he did, a man in the class ran across the room and did some Jackie Chan fly kick into his shoulder and they both hit the ground with a huge thud. Meanwhile about 7 of us outside were in pure disbelief in what just went down and didn't know how to react. It was like something out of a movie. He managed to scramble back out the door and we all ran off laughing so hard.

This sort of thing just doesn't happen sober.

There are a lot but this one is fresh in my mind since there was some other reddit thread that reminded me of this..Freshman year I was on an all guys floor with a shared bathroom, bunch of stalls, showers etc. One night a kid comes running into my room and tells me and my roommate that we HAVE to go and see whats in the bathroom so we oblige. There is a fece in one of the toilets that legit was the size of a half full roll of paper towels. It was massive, like almost over the lip of the toilet. I dont know if it wasnt flushed because the kid just didnt want to or because it was impossible. Anyways, as more kids start to see it one kid says he will pick it up out of the toilet and squeeze it if he gets the right amount of money. So people start pitching in 5 and 10 bucks and a little bit of booze and some beer. By this time there were like 100+ people on our floor from all over the freshman dorms because the build up was like an hour. He finally goes into the bathroom and turns the corner so everyone could see and raises it up and squeezes it. It was disgusting but it was awesome haha. He ended up getting in trouble bc the janitor was pissed obviously. The video was on youtube for a while but no longer.
