Created by Marja-Lewis Ryan, College digs beyond the headlines that make college campuses ripe for drama and steps inside the shoes of six roommates as they hook up, mess up and grow up on their own terms.

Forsyth is Kaylee, 18, hard, tattooed, and smart, she is a foster kid. Kaylee is a direct young woman, considered by her friends, “most likely to succeed”

Sula plays Addison, 19, self-possessed, unflappable, very comfortable in her own skin, she is a sophomore. From London, studying bio-medical engineering.

Willems portrays Samson, 19, mature, self-deprecating, with a confident, easy demeanor, he is one of Kaylee’s roommates. Born in Paris, raised in Munich, affluent, a second-year freshman with a sense of humor, he’s a drug addict / dealer in active recovery.

Saleh is Riya, 18, overly talkative, funny, prissy, she is the daughter of a professor and is pursuing a career in medicine.

Lee plays Teddy, 18, transgender male, quiet, gamer, freshman from the Bay Area. He’s self-conscious and sweet and wants to have a clean start in college.

Baker portrays Maleeka, 18, sardonic, sensitive, sheltered, unsure, a virgin, with a very protective mother, she is a freshman. School has barely begun, but a homesick Maleeka is ready to go home

Carnahan is Logan, 18, a formerly-overweight newly- attractive frat-type. Logan looks the part of a cocky dude but he’s secretly a virgin with a crush on Maleeka. He’s charming though occasionally culturally insensitive (at best) and has a lot to learn.
