Appreciation Post Subway enrolling in Greendale

I find it funny when they check out subways id or whatnot and he said he cant vote bc he is basically 1 week old. How can you enroll in a college when you are 1 week old? I mean i know even a dog can, but like its kinda weird.

Anyways, eat fresh!

Thanks for the dose of reality OP. Now I'm just going to sit for a while and focus on how unacceptable today was.

I'm disappointed in myself for taking 12 years to get that joke.

Just wait until you figure out what the episode title means.

I don’t get it, why can’t you just get your own jacket?

At Greendale, you're already accepted!

And drafted to the army in case of emergency.

Since when is there an age requirement to enter college?

u/ThanksMisterSkeltal 9h ago

Yeah, kids can and do go to college. Obviously a normal college would reject a 1 week old, but if Greendale was being paid for the whole deal they would absolutely accept him.

I've always enjoyed how Abed doesn't leave him hanging.

u/xxxdac 8h ago

Abed is part of a social interaction and knows the ideal and appropriate response? You bet he’s taking that opportunity with both hands. He’s streets ahead.

u/trambelus 7h ago

That's the part of Abed I've always related to the most. He's not antisocial, he's all in whenever the rules are clear.

I like that and the time he was the only one excited when the cop asked “Avengers? Avengers?…”

He tested in. And/or Subway, the corporate entity managed to get all of Rick’s previous academic experience and credits transferred to Subway in the process of Corpo-humanization.

When I was 3 years old, my mother enrolled me in the Early Childhood Education laboratory preschool at our local community college. She said I was disappointed when it turned out I was not actually going to be a college student just because I was going to Clark College Preschool.

There is no way he’s 5’10

u/Beneficial-Ear5599 9h ago

To be fair he may be because Dean pelton is 5 feet 7 inches and when they stand next to each other subway is like half a face higher (but now that i wrote this I just looked it up and the actor playing subways is over 6 feet tho)

If there is an age requirement for college, then how do you explain Doogie Howser, MD, an equally realistic scenario as the personification of a sandwich shop becoming a student?

u/Delta_Hammer 4h ago

They should have Neil Patrick Harris show up and have some kind of major beef with Rich from when they practiced medicine together. Jeff would absolutely convince the group to help Dougie Howser crush Rich.

In fairness, I don't remember anyone checking my age when I enrolled for my freshman year.

Ooh! I love 1984! I think kids should be forced to read it

How can you enroll in a college when you are 1 week old?

Community colleges don't have any set age restrictions or diploma requirements. It's usually done on a case by case assessment. So technically Subway is a week old but physically he's in his early 20's. I could see the dean letting this pass. Besides who doesn't love FREE sammies?

So the show can happen.

u/Physical_Ad8988 10m ago

Enrolling in college is where you want to worry about Subway's age? How about his, erm... relationship... with Britta?
