I tried once to play this game since it is loved so much. But, the setting "fraternity" really threw me off. There isn't anything like that that exists where i live. I wonder if anyone had the same difficulty, i am going to try it out a second time (i really want to like this game lol). It would really piss me off, if i still can't get on board.
I'd say B&R is much more based on the tropes of the comedy films set in colleges in the US than on an authentic college experience. BaDIK has much more in common with Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, and Van Wilder than it does with reality. So, Maviarab is right... I think the assumption is that the player will have seen films like those and have some passing familiarity with the setting.American stuff. If you've seen any amount of US films, you should be aware of how things are done in colleges there. Completely foerign concept to myself also, but it doesn't stop me enjoying the story/setting.
A couple examples? B&R is presented as a somewhat prestigious school, but half the characters in the game likely barely passed high school and would have trouble getting accepted into a community college much less a university of any note. Also, any school big enough to have 4+ active fraternities/sororities wouldn't have the same professor teaching math and English. The University I went to was fairly small, and only had about 6 greek houses, but our math and English departments each had 15-20 professors.
