Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Characters accuse one another of being gay.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    There is sexual banter throughout, plus simulated sex acts and kissing.
  • Language:

    Characters call each other "homo," and one accuses the other of "smelling like scrotum." Curses are bleeped out.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Rampant drinking (as you might expect in a college setting).
 

What Parents Need to Know

About College Hill

Parents need to know that in many episodes of this racy, college-set reality program, sexually explicit acts are described and simulated, curses are routinely bleeped out, and derogatory language is used. Like The Real World, this series focuses on conflict between young adults.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what to expect in college. Do you think this series is an accurate picture of what college will be like? How can students balance relationships, friends, and their studies? How do you go about maintaining boundaries in a communal living situation?

    College Hill Worse Show Ever

    College Hill Makes me want to vomit every time I see It. This show is completely pathetic, I don't think it could get any more trifling than it already is. I hate to see my brothers and sisters acting like fools, real live fools, lick wipe cream off each other, that's just how they want us to act. Here's the kicker, it's on B.E.T, can you believe it. I bet Imus loves the show, but what would martin luther king think about it. Half the time it looks like a t-pain video, the least they could do is change the name this garbage is hiding behind because it has nothing to do with college. Were no better than bush or jim crow, the way we sold out our own kids who watch this crap, and we wonder why they can't even graduate high school. They should change the name to katrina hill, because it just a flood of Ignornace. www.r5.kickme.to
