Total nerd Drake visited Drake University and hung outside sororities

Hold on, we're going to college.

Okay, so maybe turning papers in won't get you paid. But that's no reason why you can't still drop by colleges with the foresight to have the same name as you.

Drake paid a visit to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, last night after the school's social media campaign to #BringDrakeToDrake somehow convinced the rapper to hang outside sororities in the middle of the night.

It started with an Instagram from the school's official account inviting the rapper to swing by campus before his show in town on Tuesday.

Drake commented on the post, writing, "I'mma pull up on ya," and so it seemed the students (and the school's adorable bulldog mascot) would get their wish.

But as the day wore on, there were no signs of Drizzy on campus and the school admitted defeat. At his show, however, he rocked some school spirit.

But then Drake came through in the dead of night when most students were asleep. Naturally, he found the sororities without difficulty and waited outside for female attention to no avail, making it the Drizziest Drake visit that could ever be.

After the visit, Drake headed off in a private jet, which Drake can do because he doesn't have student loans to pay off.
