Popular Reality Series Depicting Black College Life is Back With a Special One-Hour Premiere
Why take over one campus when you can take over an entire city? This season BET’s COLLEGE HILL answers the question by heading to Atlanta to check out the life and times of eight students from various schools across the “A-T-L” on Tuesday, March 11, at 10:00 p.m.* These eight co-eds will live under one roof, hit the books and in approximately one semester get too close for each other’s comfort.
For the first time ever in the series’ history, COLLEGE HILL 5: ATLANTA will gather students from four different universities (Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Georgia State University and the University of West Georgia) and explore their academic and career goals, love lives, friendships, trials and tribulations.
In addition to hitting the books this season, the housemates will also have
an opportunity to meet and work with Ludacris on a community project for his
foundation and exchange ideas and culture with students during a jaunt across
the Atlantic to London, England . And of course, the season would not be
complete without nights out in Hotlanta and lots of drama.
Among one of BET’s top-rated programs in network history, COLLEGE HILL for
the past four seasons has steadily posted impressive rating gains over each
consecutive season. Now back by popular demand for its fifth season, COLLEGE
HILL 5: ATLANTA promises to bring the heat direct from the dirty south.

University of West Georgia, originally from Atlanta, Georgia. A rapper, in
the midst of laying down his first self-produced album, Drew lives and
breathes music as anyone around him can tell you. When he’s not rapping, he’s
hustling, either waiting tables or cutting hair for a few extra bucks.
Dennis, 19, is a sophomore sociology major attending Morehouse College,
originally from Columbia, South Carolina. He is the youngest housemate, who

passions, and he is always free styling, whether he’s at a video shoot or
just hanging with his boys.
