On the night of his 21st birthday, college student Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) is taken for a night on the town with his two best friends Casey (Skylar Astin) and Miller (Miles Teller). When things get carried away, it is up to Casey and Miller to get Jeff home safely before his overbearing father (François Chau) discovers that he is not prepared for his big interview the next morning. The fictional "Northern Pacific University" is actually the University of Washington campus in Seattle.
The film opens with Casey and Miller walking across UW's Red Square in nothing but tube socks.

Looking south across the Liberal Arts Quadrangle.
Jeff Chang's house is at 5026 17th Avenue NE, directly north of the campus.
The first stop on the night of debauchery is Big Time Brewery and Alehouse at 4133 University Avenue NE.
From there, they head presumably across the street to Galway Arms Irish Pub, which is actually a few blocks north and now The Kraken Lounge at 5257 University Way NE.
Jeff Chang gets on the bar and urinates on the crowd at Finn MacCool's Irish Public House at 4217 University Way NE.
As they come crawling out of the Knarr Shipwreck Lounge (5633 University Way NE), the guys realize they have no idea where they are or where Jeff Chang lives.
The Latina sorority house was a combination of two different locations. The front entrance and several interior shots were done at 747 16th Avenue East on Capitol Hill...
...and the boys sneak in a back entrance by the pool (actually a tarp-covered basketball court) at 1017 East Blaine Street. Interior scenes such as the bathroom were filmed in this house as well.
They finally arrive at Nicole's sorority house, Pi Kappa Phi at 4530 17th Avenue NE in the U District.
They test the golf cart's ability to roll down steps onto the north end of the Liberal Arts Quad.
Jeff Chang runs across cars and "gets down" in front of the police in front of Guy's Barber & Style Shop at 1407 NE 42nd Street in the U District.
After leaving the campus police station, Casey and Miller are abducted by the Latinas in the alley next to Orange King Burgers & Teriyaki at 1411 NE 42nd Street.
After walking through Red Square in nothing but tube socks, the guys look for Jeff Chang in Lewis Hall at 4182 NE Stevens Way. It is in the actual back of the building where they drop Jeff Chang out the window to escape.
Jeff Chang runs over a line of parking meters along NE 40th Street between 15th & University Way.
As he executes a perfect 360-degree spin, they land on Rainier Vista in front of the old entrance to the underground Triangle Parking Garage on the very south end of campus.
Casey chases after Nicole's car on 17th Avenue NE, only to find her back in front of the Pi Kappa Phi sorority house where he gives her a kiss.
The music festival scene was filmed at the Gorge Amphitheater outside Quincy, WA.
