They probably know.
However, college students (at least in the US) usually don’t know how to handle being intoxicated. This being the first time they are allowed and all.
That’s why the dorm popcorn alarm (aka fire alarm) goes off in the middle of the night, not early evening when people would be watching movies and such.
And that's why habits are so important. If you just set it to 5 min and turn it off at the right time when sober, you're going to screw it up when drunk. If you always set it to 2 min (or whatever is good for your microwave), you'll likely do the same when drunk.
