their "palace" doesn't hold a candle to what you see on mtv. bet is definitely viacom's "red-headed step child."

They live in a campus dorm I believe so they probably couldn't do that much to it. I think they wanted to show the dorm aspect of attending an HBCU. Real World is not at a campus, so they cannot be in a dorm. Sorority and Fraternity life were not in dorms because I think they could not get permission to do all they needed to in a dorm. PLUS having dorm brothers/sisters versus house brothers/sisters added a different dynamic to the show.
If they wanted a "palace", Mrs Edmonds probably could've have pushed for it but if SU will let them use the dorms, why not go ahead and show how ppl act in dorms despite dorm restrictions. About the film quality, I think they're going for a "real",documentary-ish look. They did the same thing with HITS.
The show is embarassing but ppl do act like that in real life. At least we have Jacquese (sp) acting right on RW versus the white characters who are acting up. It'd be nice if they had a different range of characters but I guess they wanted all the extremes. 2 or 3 characters without issues would be good.
About travelling 30 miles to party, that happens in ATL. Everything's just so far apart sometimes.
