[edit]
Sam was actually the first Witwicky to attend college, which his dad Ron estimated cost about $40,000 a year. When the family arrived at Princeton, Sam met his roommates Leo Spitz, Fassbinder and Sharsky, who ran a website about the Transformers called The Real Effing Deal. Judy Witwicky bought herself brownies which were actually filled with cannabis, going delirious and almost blowing the family's cover, which Sam was able to brush off to his bemused classmates.
Having touched a fragment of the AllSpark, Sam himself was going nuts, seeing Cyberglyphics: during Astronomy 101, he read Professor Colan's book within seconds and was forced out of the class. Sam earned the unwanted attention of Alice, but when Mikaela Banes attacked her and he fled, she rampaged through the school.

Notes
[edit]- Revenge of the Fallen shot scenes at both Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. According to Michael Bay's blog, the university was simply referred to as a "college" in the film because neither school would allow the use of their name due to the scene featuring Judy Witwicky and brownies.[1] The college is called Princeton in the novelization of the film; however, while the college was not specifically named in IDW's Rising Storm comics, it was specifically located in Philadelphia. Philly is also the stated destination of Mikaela’s flight within the film.
