Factual error: When the sprinklers go off during the S.H.I.T. party, Maurice yells "Wet T-shirt party!" into the mic and the DJ keeps playing with no problems. In reality, that amount of water would quickly destroy the audio equipment, and in all likelihood electrocute people as well. (01:06:15)

Factual error: Universities in the US are not accredited by state boards but rather by regional organizations. Even if Ohio had an accreditation board, questions of accreditation are not addressed in person by those opposed to a school, but rather by written information in a brief.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when the "Blow stuff up with mind" guy is accidentally locked out and says "Is this a test?" the reflection of a camera is seen throughout the whole scene.

Uncle Ben: Health insurance my ass! They don't pay for shit. You get sick on a Friday, they only pay from Monday through Thursday. You go to doctor A, they only pay for doctor B. You break your penis, they only fix vaginas.

Question: Since Bartleby has a talent for computer skills (creating a bogus website, fake IDs), why didn't those skills help him apply to a good college?

Answer: His friend is the one that created the website and all the necessary documents for the fake school. Even if his friend was able to create such a website, this wouldn't change his transcript from high school, which would negate any abilities used to apply to another school. No matter how creative you are in falsifying documents and websites, you can't change your school transcript unless you hack the schools records, and maybe they drew the line at that. He DID apply to many colleges and was rejected by them all, as demonstrated by the beginning of the movie.
