Van Wilder: I know Ms Pacman is special. She's cute...she's fun...she swallows.

During the scene where Richard is playing croquet on the lawn in front of the Delta Iota Kappa house, the letters of the fraternity are visible on the front of the house. The Greek letter for "Delta" should be a triangle yet it is the letter "D" in the shot. This is presumably to follow the "DIK" joke that would not be as obvious if written in correct Greek letters.

Trivia

It's said that Van has been in college for 7 years. This is a nod to a line from John Belushi in "Animal House," when he says, "Seven years of my life for nothing." See more...

When Tara Reid sends her article to Van's dad, you see that it is addressed to 'Mr. Vance Wilder, Sr.' If you go to the DVD bonus features, and look at Van's college application, you'll see that under the part that says 'Father's Name' it does not say Vance Wilder, Sr., but a different first name. [The DVD bonus features is not considered part of the movie. So in this case the bonus feature is mistaken.]

While discussing if they should let Van graduate, the council names the six classes he needs for graduation. They are far too vague to be classes and some are actually majors. [This is done by many colleges when students do not know what they want to graduate with. It's called an open course.]

When Van's cart comes face to face with the teacher's car in the road, and the shots go back and forth from car to cart, in one closeup of the cart, you can see the tip of a microphone at the top of the screen, just to the left of the middle. [It's not a microphone, simply one of the two 8 balls he has hanging from the cart.]

When Van goes before the teachers who decide his fate, he says that he will audit his last twelve credits. Auditing credits mean they don't count towards graduation. Every college student, professor, and administrator knows this. [When Van says that he is auditing his last twelve units, it does not necessarily mean that he needs those last twelve units to graduate. He may have already accumulated enough elective credits and didn't need the twelve units he originally registered for.]
