Name that movie: Girl attempts to get admission to a school. Has trouble opening door to professor/ teacher's?

The girl is a hair stylist I think. She walks up a set of stairs and hears the students passing by talking about something she doesn't seem to understand. She get's to the teacher or professor's door for an interview but has trouble opening the door. Eventually, she get's in and the prof and her have an interesting discussion. The teacher is a teacher of literature or poetry I think...

I remember there was a line where the prof asks her something and then she's like "is that a bar?" I'm pretty sure it's a movie that came out before 2000.

Thanks in advance for any help.

    'Educating Rita'. (mid/late 80's)

    Stars Michael Caine as an alcoholic Uni lecturer and Julie Walters as a working class hair-dresser who wants to study literature. It's sort of black comedy.

    There may have been a more recent US remake?

    Mrs. Crowder: She was my First Grade Teacher, Freshman English Teacher, an I almost had her for Senior English. The only reason I didn't have her, is because the only time I could take Senior English, she was not teaching that hour. One advantage of attending School in a Rural County.

    Could it be "Never Been Kissed", with Drew Barrymore, maybe?
