In the midst of a Lost bender

Cranking through season three of Lost, which is an unbelievable show in terms of structure, and the sheer amount of stuff they have put into it. Everything is so well thought out.
Anyways, Lost discussion to come after finishing all the episodes, but for now, show idea.

Two friends, not really really borat and the fat guy but in a similar vein, come from their country (Ziplocistan is a name I'm stealing from my buddy's 9th grade history project) to go to school in America. The school is on the beach, so it's just a great visual place to go to school. Neither of the kids speak much english, but they manage to get by and learn english as the series goes on. (thinking like the camera crew in Bowfinger, also thinking of Spanglish and it's possible sequel about the problems of outsourcing tech support to India, Spangladesh) And the kids find themselves alienated at school, but also have difficulty with paying for school, so they get jobs down at the docks, working with a bunch of old salts. these are the guys that accept them and dont care that they dont speak too much, because these guys will talk to anyone who listens, and most of them are intelligle anyway (as this post is becoming; my writing has gone for shit since I stopped doing it so frequently, another on the to-do list after learning piano and Spanish, or Spangladeshese) And to keep the college within the story- maybe they also join a fraternity, and there I want a kid who was raised in the fraternity his whole life and has never known anything else- almost a complete opposite to these worldly types would be someone who lived forever in the bubble that is a fraternity. Anyways, short outline- Four season show, for each year of school- easy- no PG year, end it strong, the key here comes from Lost; plan it out so that certain pay-offs may not come until seasons later, but keep enough humor in the show to keep the audience coming back.
Not so interested in cliff-hangers and "previously on..."'s but more a show where you can jump into any episode, like Seinfeld, but with more arch- and definitely not a That 70's Show where the kids are in high school forever or Boy Meets World where they go to college forever. The show should have heart of course, but the anchors have to be the two foreigners, and their coming to grips with a world that does not care about them, and how they overcome that. I want a college show that is more about real life- as if they were community college students, and the school thing was there because of their great desire to better themselves. Shit, they travelled across the world and left everything they ever knew, all their comforts, to do it.
That's an outline- it basically takes pieces from everything we've talked about, i've thought about, and tries to put them together in some semblance of a show, which is something that Lost is the king of.

Mostly, I just always wanted to go to school on a beach.
