I'll admit, I went to huge Division I school with 50k plus students, I don't know how it is at smaller schools.
But I've never heard of a college having lockers... why would it???
Just a plot device to stuff that kid into?
i was also wondering about that. i guess if they were in a gym?
shareI began college at an art school in 2010 and we had lockers. I'm at a university now and no lockers lol
shareI attended a smaller college. There was one hallway with lockers on one side and that was it. Not big enough to fit a body in mind you, just half door ones.
shareI was 12 or 13 ish the first time I saw this movie, my mom and I rented it on VHS (lol vhs), and even then, I thought they were at a high school, not college.
In college, you bring what you need to your classes, they don't give you a place to stash your stuff, you leave that crap at home or don't bring it at all, promotes responsibility.
Not that I have ever attended college so I don't know what being a college student would be like, but I would bet or even guess is that they filmed the movie was at a High School, since if I am right Palisades Academy is a fictional college. And I am not sure if they were trying to reference Jonathan Taylor Thomas' earlier movie Man of the House, since in the very beginning of this movie, they show lockers with his room mate, being stuffed in his locker, and shouting out his locker combo, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas opening using the numbers, just like he did in another scene for Man of the House in which again he does the same thing, but this boy was of course was younger, and he asked him for the combo for his locker. I am not sure if the filmmakers didn't catch that colleges would have lockers, or at least bigger ones. And we also don't know if this is supposed to be a bigger or smaller campus.
shareIt's obvious that whoever wrote this film never went to college. It's not just the lockers thing... the whole environment is that of a high school.
shareIt's an academy of some kind not college. He's 18 and not been home for Christmas in a few years since his mom died. He wouldn't have started college/university in his early teens. He's at the equivalent of a high school where he also lives
shareIt says college immediately after the opening credits.
