Description:

A Different World spun off from The Cosby Show, initially following Denise Huxtable’s experiences at Hillman College, a fictional, diverse college in Virginia. After the actress left after one season, the show shifted its focus to Southern belle Whitley Gilbert and math student Dwayne Wayne. Recurring storylines often featured members of prominent Black fraternities and sororities.
