 Now a college student, Homer is under the impression (thanks to watching movies such as ''[[School of Hard Knockers]]'') that it will be like a cliché college comedy, where it is his duty to hassle nerds and stand up to the overbearing old fuddy-duddy dean. In fact, there is no jock/nerd enmity at Springfield University, and the dean, [[Bobby Peterson]], is a young, hip, laid-back, go-getter—completely non-stereotypical—who plays bass guitar and encourages the students to call him by his first name. However, this doesn't stop Homer from nurturing a resentment for the dean.
-Homer delights in hassling the ever-patient [[Nuclear Physics Professor|professor]], and causes a meltdown in class when the professor asks him to demonstrate how a proton accelerator works. Dean Peterson then assigns Homer to supplemental tutoring, and Homer meets the nerd trio of {{ap|Benjamin|nerd}}, {{ap|Doug|nerd}}, and {{ap|Gary|nerd}}. Unlike the dean, the nerds are totally stereotypical, hanging out on their computers all day while telling jokes from Monty Python routines.

 In an effort to get the nerds to loosen up and live a little, Homer decides to take the nerds on a road trip with several cases of beer. His plan fizzles when [[Marge]] makes him take [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] along and they end up going to a petting zoo. Homer's next idea is to pull a prank, and Bart helps them to plan the kidnapping of [[Sir Oinks-A-Lot]], the pig mascot of [[Springfield A&M]]. They bring the pig back to Springfield University, and Homer gets the pig drunk (and sick) by splitting a case of malt liquor with him. Dean Peterson catches the nerds (but not Homer) with the drunken pig, and the dean is forced to expel the nerds from Springfield University due to the influence of the pig's powerful friends, one of whom is former U.S. President {{Ch|Richard Nixon}}. Homer, however, gets off scot-free.

-[[Nuclear Inspectors#federal inspectors|Inspectors]] from the [[Nuclear Regulatory Commission]] arrive at [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] to conduct a surprise evaluation of employee competence using the simulated workstation in their [[Nuclear Inspection Van|van]]. [[Smithers]], reacting quickly, gives the three least-gifted employees (including [[Homer]]) the busy-work task of guarding a bee in the basement to hide them from the inspectors. However, Homer accidentally breaks the jar containing the bee and it escapes. Homer chases after the bee and ends up emerging from a manhole right next to the van, thus being noticed by the inspectors in spite of Smithers' best efforts.

 When Homer gets his turn in the van's simulator, he manages to cause a meltdown even though the van doesn't have any nuclear material in it. [[Mr. Burns]] first tries to bribe his way out of the situation, but the inspectors are unmoved. Burns then tries to bodily eject the inspectors from his office by using his trapdoor, but that doesn't work due to his office having been rearranged. The inspectors rule that Homer needs college training in nuclear physics to be qualified for his job. Homer applies to several colleges, but is rejected by every one. Burns then exerts some personal influence to get Homer admitted to [[Springfield University]].
