Angel wasn't in college... he was a private investigator. Buffy became a super-college-student around Season Four.

Vampires on film are kind of hard to portray in ways other than Blade, From Dusk Till Dawn and the like.

You mean in a way other than as ravening hordes of canon fodder for the hero(es) to destroy? What about, I don't know... Dracula?

If you want to use a vampire as something other than the monster of the film, then you have to take a damn lot of time to set up who/what/where/why the vampire is. Books do this very well, but movies simply don't have enough time for this.

What a silly generalization. What about George A. Romero's Martin? What about recent Tribeca Film Festival hit Let The Right One In? What about the hardly exceptional but entirely adequate Interview With The Vampire?
