BET+ is bringing back the nostalgia with the reboot of College Hill, but longtime fans are not feeling the new twist.

The reality show debuted in 2004 and focused on the lives of students that attended HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) and will now be making its return with well-known celebrities and influencers. BET says the reboot will watch celebrities NeNe Leakes, bounce artist Big Freedia, Ray J, Lamar Odom, Slim Thug, influencer India Love, and rapper Dream Doll “head back to class and experience college life through a celebrity lens, while enrolled at TSU (Texas Southern University).”

What is up with all these networks thinking we want celebrities & influencers in all the content we watch

We fell in love with college hill because we got to see real students deal with real situations
There’s definitely a market for @BET to showcase this era of college students https://t.co/kQjdshLP9y

I can't believe the 'queen of reality' is doing a reality show on BET which is a spinoff of college hill… even I'm a bit embarrassed for her.

Many fans who remember the series loved that it showed the real life of students who were going through relatable situations while completing their degrees. Besides the fact that the show isn’t showing real students, people also questioned the “random” put-together cast remembers who are not college age. The show states that the cast will participate in real-life coursework along with required internships, extra credit opportunities, group projects, and more.

College Hill: Celebrity Edition will premiere on June 27, 2022, on BET+, but until then check out the reactions to the cast below.
