Samantha Hill's careful college plans fall apart when she has a fight with her roommate Stacy, an assignment almost gets her thrown out of school, and she falls in love

Wealthy, sophisticated Stacy Swanson has always gone first class. Whatever her parent's money couldn't buy, she got with a carefully dropped name or a flash of her innocent dimpled smile. So when she arrives at Hawthorne College, she assumes the rules will be the same - act like a star, and they'll treat you like one.

Terrified of the truth, Stacy tries to change her identity in some dangerous ways. Her roommates would do anything to help, but can Stacy ever learn to look at herself honestly?

Terry doesn't look like a girl with problems. She has three fantastic roommates, a great job at the college theater, and a budding relationship with a handsome, sensitive guy called Rob.

Terry works hard, but she's no brain and if she wants to make it, she's got to live up to her reputation as suite 2C's resident grind. At first, Terry's able to shut out her friends, her fantasies of acting, even Rob. Then a tragedy involving one of her best friends in the premed program forces her to take a hard look at her life. Is becoming a doctor really what she wants, or is she living someone else's dream? If Terry decided to drop out of premed, will it mean dropping out of Hawthorne College and saying goodbye to her roommates—and to Rob?

When the roommates head for two weeks of sun and fun at Daytona Beach, Roni's ready. She flirts, dances, drinks, and takes any kind of dare from m,orning to midnight. When Terry, Stacy and Sam try to hold her back, Roni ditches her friends for a new crowd. She even invents a new personality for herself, borrowing parts from her roommates lives....
