Wahlberg continued, “We just went to parents’ nights in sorority and fraternity houses, and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I don’t think I’ve ever really regretted not going to college until I saw[this movie].”

However, the actor later revealed that he got a taste of college life by crashing a sorority party during parents’ weekend.
“They were the most fun-loving people I’ve ever seen! They were having more fun than when she came to Las Vegas,” Wahlberg recalled in a December interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I was in a dorm and we went to a few spots around town.”
“It was amazing,” he added. “Parents’ weekend was incredible.”
