synopsis
The friendship between Dwayne (Kadeem Hardison) and Ron (Darryl M. Bell) may come to a sudden and ignominious end when they team up to write a philosophy paper. Characteristically, Dwayne ends up doing all the work, while Ron coasts along--a fact made doubly galling to Dwayne because he'd had the chance to team with a far better student. Meanwhile, incoming freshmen Kim (Charnele Brown) and Freddie (Cree Summer) apply for jobs at "The Pit", a popular campus eating place run by the redoubtable Vernon Gaines (Lou Myers in his first series appearance).
