What??! I was in university when this came out! And I'm *still* in university! (stupid grad school)
@Eva:
When I entered University, Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer, U2's With or Without You and New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle were the big hits on campus.
When I left University, Green Day's Basket Case, The Offspring's Come Out and Play and Nine Inch Nails' Closer were the big hits on campus.
