Saved by the Bell: The College Years

Graduation is over and Zack, Slater, and Screech are ready for a whole new slew of college adventures. They move in together for college and are excited to discover they have three beautiful female neighbors.

Kelly is attending a junior college when she is admitted to Cal U off the waiting list. Unaware that Kelly's coming, Zack is trying to get Leslie's affection by telling her the tragic story of how his high school sweetheart was killed in an accident. Leslie is touched by Zack's vulnerability and kisses him just as Kelly opens the door. Zack is torn between the two girls so he asks both of them to the same concert. The girls make the decision for him when they take both tickets and go to the concert together. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang starts to register for classes as Slater decides to focus most of his attention on his education, instead of wrestling.

Zack gets off on the wrong foot with his new professor of anthropology, Professor Lasky. Professor Lasky pegs Zack as a smart mouth immediately--and turns the tables on him by selling him a copy of the midterm before Zack realizes that he is the instructor. Zack and Leslie participate in a class demonstration in Anthropology. Zack is supposed to gain Leslie's interest without using any words. Leslie isn't interested and Zack gets frustrated. He gives up and says it's a waste of time and that the whole class is a waste of time. Professor Lasky talks to Zack and indicates that he thinks that Zack is a bit "clunky" with women. Zack is a bit offended by this remark. Professor Lasky offers to give Zack a B for the course and excuse him for the rest of the semester if Zack will do a project on "What Do Women Want?" by the following Friday. Zack agrees because he thinks it will be really easy. Zack decides to make a video and goes around interviewing women on campus--mainly by hitting on them.

It is rush week and all three of the boys rush the same house. Screech's dream is to be the first in his family to pledge a fraternity. Because of this, the girls give Screech a 'cool guy' makeover and Zack and Slater drop out to make room for Screech to rush. Meanwhile, there is tension among the girls as they rush rival sororities. In the end, Leslie decides to remain independent while Kelly and Alex pledge the same house.

Zack asks the entire gang to go with him on a ski trip. Most of the gang can't go while Leslie is hesitant to go with him alone. Because of this, Zack tries to convince Slater to bring a date. Slater falls for a Hispanic girl who urges him to participate in a protest for a Hispanic Studies Department the same weekend. She challenges Slater to be proud of his ethnicity as he and Zack have a falling out over his priorities. In the end, Zack comes out to support Slater at the protest and they reconcile. Meanwhile, the escape of Mike Rogers' mouse from his cage creates fear and commotion in the suite.

The boys are really excited when a famous pro football player and Cal U alumnus comes to visit. The boys think he's a hero but he turns out to be an arrogant jerk when he upsets Kelly by hitting on her. Meanwhile, Leslie has Screech pose as her boyfriend when her wealthy parents try to get her together with a proper boy.
