Plot
Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) is a persuasive senior from William McKinley High School in Wickliffe, Ohio, who, among other pranks, creates a fake ID. The prize does not extend to the level, and he receives a letter of rejection from all the colleges where he enrolls, including those with high admissions. In an attempt to get approval from a strict father (Mark Derwin), Bartleby created a fake college, South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.). His best friend, Sherman Schrader III (Jonah Hill), who had been accepted at his late father's alma mater (Jim O'Heir), Harmon College, helped Bartleby and his colleagues refuse Rory Thayer (Maria Thayer), who only enrolls at Yale University and is denied due to inheritance preferences ; Darryl "Hands" Holloway (Columbus Short), who lost his athletic scholarship after suffering an injury; and Glen (Adam Herschman), who failed the SAT exam because of the vacancy. To make the "college" seem legitimate, Bartleby convinced Sherman to create a functional website for the school.
When his father insisted on meeting the dean, Bartleby hired a strange uncle Sherman, Ben Lewis (Lewis Black), a former Harmon College professor, to play that role, and he rented out an asylum that was left behind adjacent to Harmon College and renovated it to look like a college campus. College. Their plans backfire when the website, which automatically accepts any applicant, enrolls hundreds of other rejected students. Bartleby realizes that these people have nowhere else to go, so he lets them believe that the school is real, the place where they will eventually feel accepted, despite objections from his friends. After a visit to Harmon disappointing him with traditional college life, he asked students to create their own curriculum. Students write what they want to learn on the whiteboard, from culinary art, sculpting, meditation, to unusual courses such as psychokinesis, the subject of which one eccentric child (Jeremy Howard) wants to learn.
Bartleby creates a school newspaper ( S.H.I.T. Rag ), creates a mascot (Sandwich S.H.I.T.), and throws a themed party, turning South Harmon into a party school. Meanwhile, the Harmon College narcissist dean, Richard Van Horne (Anthony Heald), made plans to build Van Horne Gateway, a "green buffer zone" similar to a park adjacent to the campus that the dean hopes will "store knowledge and ignorance." outside. "He sends Hoyt Ambrose (Travis Van Winkle) to free the property nearby, but when Bartleby refuses to release the lease for the South Harmon property, Hoyt begins work trying to reveal the college as a fake.The dispute changed personally, as Bartleby has been racing - race for Hoyt's former girlfriend, Monica Moreland (Blake Lively).Hoyt exposes South Harmon as a fake institution through Sherman, who tries to join Hoyt's brotherhood as an inheritance, but continues to be humiliated and abused by them.After belittling Sherman once again, it forced him to hand over all the files he made to South Harmon.
Hoyt contacted all the parents of the students, and with Van Horne, he revealed that the school was a fake. Soon afterwards, the school was forced to close, but Sherman, who had had enough of Harmon College corruption, file for accreditation on behalf of South Harmon, gave Bartleby a chance to make his college lawful. At the next Ohio State education accreditation hearing, Bartleby made an eager speech about the failure of conventional education and the importance of following his own passions, convincing the council to give his school a one-year trial accreditation to test his new system, thwarting the Van Horne scheme. The campus was reopened, with more students enrolling, including Sherman and Monica. In addition, Bartleby finally gets his father's approval, who is proud that his son now has a college. When the film was closed, Van Horne walked to his car in the parking lot, only to watch it suddenly explode. Bartleby sees his astonishment as an eccentric student from previously making his interest in a psychokinetic explosion a reality.
