Ottor, you make a lot of good points, not the least of which is that the show is not a documentary, but entertainment. I laughed so hard when a passerby dropped a dollar bill on Rusty and he protests, "I'm not homeless!!!"
It's also true that we tend to remember the fun, unusual moments while most of our time in college was pretty boring. Hell, even most of the parties we had were pretty boring, never mind the endless hours of studying or just going out to grab a midnight snack. No TV show there.
As EM1843 said, stereotypes are based on something, so what else would they put in the show to make it entertaining? If high school kids are watching this show, are they going to be pleasantly surprised or disappointed when they finally get to college and find it's not really like this? Hmm...
