Yes but there's not many people I know that would purposely portray that they were there for a good time, now that would just be silly
I always used the mentally of 'they're working for me' though as its true. We even had great convos with our lecturers over the fact that we were paying their salaries etc. I guess what I would mean is that it's a different sort of interview, a job interview's more like 'please, pick me, pick me' whereas a uni or tech interview is more about why YOU have chosen to join them, not them choose you IYKWIM.
