In a number of scenes in this movie--it shows a bunch or marked up walls all over the place.
These are supposed to be VERY intelligent students. yet....the walls are all marked-up, like one would see in a DAYCARE !!
Is this just for the movie...or does that happen in REALITY ?
Dorm rooms can be pretty ganky, regardless of level of 'intelligence'...
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
According to this link, the graffiti on the walls were basically copied from the dorms of Caltech:

"The look of the dorm interior sets was inspired by that of Dabney House at Caltech. The walls of Dabney were in fact covered with graffiti; photos were taken of the graffiti in Dabney, set painters copied it from the photos, then Caltech students added their own touches. One graffito seen in the film ("Stills from the film: Gas") is a copy of a piece in Dabney which disappeared during the 1987 renovation of the House (the wall upon which it was drawn was knocked out to expand a kitchen)."
"These are supposed to be VERY intelligent students" you seem to not understand intelligence very well. At the frat house at MIT there wasn't a wall that wasn't covered with random thoughts of the brothers. what kind of crazy stereo-type makes you think that they wouldn't?
