What TV shows/movies/books influenced your view of HS/college?

These 2 posts cracked me up.

I seriously thought college would be a cross between A Different World and Felicity. It was neither, even though I ended up going to NYU (NOT because of Felicity, mind you, i just ended up getting a full ride there).

As for HS, I thought it was like Dawson's Creek and SBTB. Maybe like Laura and Eddie on Family Matters. Instead, I got more like Stand and Deliver crossed with Dangerous Minds.

ETA: as for my teen years in general, i really thought i shouldve lived like Moesha, which, IIRC, aired through middle school and early HS for me. why is it that most of the teen programming was set in (often) fictional California towns?
