The 31 Best Songs About College

This upbeat song is all about having a cute lil college crush. Who among us hasn't spotted someone across campus and instantly fallen in love?

The title of this song really says it all. High school never ends, even when you think you're a grownup.

Keg stands, eating dollar slices, and dancing at parties...this song almost makes me want to go back to college. Almost. Asher Roth did get one thing very right, though: "my good friends is all I need."

In response to the Asher Roth song, the king of college music himself Sammy Adams released his own version—all about how he hates the academic part of college but loves the, ahem, social aspects.

If I'm gonna listen to someone tell me to "make your life what you decide" and also "party 'til the fire marshals shut this sucker down," it's gonna be Queen B. And to be quite honest, a healthy balance of those two things is what college is all about.

The amount of times I played this in college is pretty embarrassing, but IN MY DEFENSE, it's the perfect song to have on in the background while pre-gaming with your crew.

The song starts off by listing off every frat and sorority-related Greek letter you could think of, and then Kanye gets into not wanting to go to school anymore, so, yeah, you could say the college vibes are strong with this one.

All of those high school romances that you thought would last forever (lol) usually come to a screeching halt once you go off to college, and this song dives into the inevitable heartbreak that follows.

Every college has someone who thinks they're a king with a "chick in every class" who wants them. Also, the lyric about going to a girl's dorm and having her tell you that her room isn't clean right now...I feel personally called out!

I bet you don't know just how many famous artists collaborated on this song—you ready? Rihanna, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Fergie, *and* Elton John, and that's not even the complete list.

Sure, the '90s rockers are singing "can I graduate" as a metaphor for, like, growing up, but that's also the exact same question I would ask myself after every single brutal final exam.

College can be a big scary place, but once you find a solid group of BFFs, you feel like you run the whole campus. Let's be real, you love your ride-or-die college besties as much as Kanye loves Kanye.

No one knows how to capture the vibe of moving on and finding yourself quite like Ms. Furtado. And not to be too on the nose here, but college is when you spread your wings, you know, like a bird!

You made it to college and that's a big freakin' deal! And there's no better song to celebrate that journey than this catchy Drake anthem.

Skipping morning classes to go hook up with your boo in their teeny tiny car that makes you feel like an oversized human? It may not exactly be everyone's ideal way to spend a day but it sure makes for a good song.

If anyone actually refers to themselves as a "frat star" IRL, run away. Immediately. Because that person is probably a jerk. I'm speaking from experience.

In case you didn't know, Snoop's song is all about falling for a college girl he used to go to school with. Heads up, though: He def seems more interested in her long hair and nice bum than her intellect. Sigh.

Every single college party you go to is guar-an-TEED to play this song at least once. Maybe even twice. It's just, like, the laws of social gatherings.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure "Gasolina" is the official song of all college parties. Even if you have zero clue what the lyrics mean (y'all should have paid more attention in Spanish class!), there's a zero percent chance you can resist shaking your booty when this jam comes on.

Question: is there a better feeling than when "Mr. Brightside" starts booming through the speakers and everyone begins scream-singing every lyric? No, there is not!
