Weezer's Rivers Cuomo dropped out of which college in 1996?
Whenever I hear a Weezer song on the radio these days, it's usually one of their newer pop songs. Sure, it's nothing like the band's glory days, but hey, good for them.
While you hear about a lot of famous people that dropped out of school and became successful, Rivers Cuomo did it a bit backwards. He started college at this school following the success of Weezer's first album, then dropped out to tour in support of the band's second album. Do you know which school this Weezer frontman bailed on?

Correct Answer: Harvard
The answer is: Harvard. Rivers enrolled in Harvard in 1995 at the age of 25 after Weezer exploded in global popularity with their self-titled debut, aka the Blue Album. While he was there, he wrote some songs that would appear on Pinkerton, the band’s second album. Rivers dropped out in 1996 to tour in support of the album but would finally return and graduate in 2006 with a degree in English Literature.Source
