Even though Southern wanted BET to be there there could be a limit as to what gets shown or what is said on camera. I mean the very first episode showed a fight in the background. Most HBCUs have the nickname that we are party institutions or that there is a plethora of crime on our campuses. College Hill is basically letting people know that most of our institutions are party schools when they really aren't and that we do have a lot of violence and crime on campus when we really don't have that much to deal with. I mean imagine someone who is interested in attending an HBCU and their family hasn't been exposed to HBCUs but they decide to watch College Hill and then they begin to learn what an HBCU really is. There decision to attend and HBCU might change because they will not want to deal with people who act like they are in high school or worry about their safety on campus. This show is only decreasing the enrollment of students in Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Like I said before being a Communications major and knowing what needs to be put out there, BET could have used that money to put a program together about something meaningful and positive instead of displaying the negative actions and activities that take place at our black institutions.
