The title reminded me of John Belushi's sweatshirt in "Animal House", but Buster Keaton's "College" is a totally different kind of movie. Keaton plays a bookish student whose girlfriend leaves him after he disses athletics in his graduation speech. Still in love with her, he decides to attend the same college that she does. From there, most of the movie is Keaton showing off his physical humor.
There is one very politically incorrect scene, but I suspect that the sign on the restaurant is an accurate depiction of that era. The best parts are the scenes where Keaton attempts to play sports. They must have really had fun filming the boat race.
So, even though this isn't Keaton's best movie, there's no shortage of laughs. The soda fountain was certainly a hoot (as are the scenes of pranks at the hands of the other students). Definitely worth seeing.
