Back to School was filmed on this campus
1986
Bascom Hill, University of Wisconsin, Madison
UW-Madison plays the fictional Grand Lakes University in Back to School, the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield comedy about a rich man with no education who enrols at his son's college. The campus is all over it: Bascom Hill, the lakefront, the walk up past the Lincoln statue. Kurt Vonnegut turns up as himself to write a paper about Kurt Vonnegut, and gets an F for not understanding Vonnegut. Robert Downey Jr. Is the roommate. The famous Triple Lindy dive was not shot here at all. That was a since-demolished aquatic club in California.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
