Stanford Prison Experiment and Goffman’s Total Institutions

Stanford Prison Experiment and Goffman talks about “total institutions”

To what extent can a university be considered a “total institution.” In what ways is it similar? In what ways is it different? Summarize the impact on both the “staff” and “inmates”

I am looking for a detailed outline. What would be some of the key points I should make? How can I apply other social psycholoical terms used throughout the course to explain behavior of the teacher and students?
