College Confidential is a 1960 American B-movie drama directed by Albert Zugsmith[1] and starring Steve Allen, Jayne Meadows and Mamie Van Doren.

Director Joe Dante, who spoofed said follow-up on the 1979 Ramones vehicle Rock 'n' Roll High School,[6] asked Allen about making College Confidential at one point and the latter said that it was going to be progressive.

Howard Thompson of The New York Times thought the picture "best-described as punk", and wrote that "Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows are such personable, alert performers that it is truly painful to find them co-starring in a piece of movie claptrap like College Confidential."

The students in the film were described as seemingly "even more adolescent, apparently never touch a book, continually grasp each other instead, or slither around mouthing a kind of steamy, beatnik jargon.".
