Last night Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame, went to college! Rutgers University invited the reality show starlet to come by for a Q&A, to the tune of $32,000. As everyone is pointing out today, that's $2,000 more than the school gave Toni Morrison for her commencement speech later this year. However, this booking was made by a student-run committee, using the mandatory student activity fees undergraduates must pay with their tuition. But still!
NJ.com was on hand to find out what nuggets of knowledge this pint-sized fist-pumper had to offer today's youth. Nearly 1,000 students showed up for the two separate Q&A sessions, which were set up like a mock Inside the Actors Studio; admission was free, and some stood in line for seven hours. Once inside, they were handed down knowledge like, "study hard, but party harder."
One pre-med student thought they got Snooki for a bargain, saying, "Honestly, I thought they would have paid her more." (Get your doctors appointments out of the way in the next 6 years or so!) Allegedly the students wanted Aziz Ansari, but he cost $75,000—and as long as Aziz is making more than Snooki, we can sleep at night.
