Abstract
This research analyses English-speaking films made from 2014 to 2024 that are primarily set in university environments. The main aim is to investigate the role of universities in these films, focusing on how these institutions are depicted and whether they adhere to stereotypical representations. By examining a diverse selection of movies, this research also seeks to answer questions about the consistency of these portrayals and whether they contribute to or challenge prevailing stereotypes such as elite status of academia, party life of academia, overachieving nerds in the academia, professors in the academia, etc. The findings will provide insights into the cultural impact of university depictions in contemporary cinema.
