A Different World
i'm watching season one of "A Different World" and i was wondering if anyone knew where Hillman College was supposed to have been located? They keep mentioning VA Beach and Whitley refers about how close it is to Richmond but I have yet to hear the exact location other than the Huxtable family has to travel south to get there.
Anyone know? Thanks.

I would guess it's supposed to be in the Hampton area when the storyline warrents it. Most other times it's just Any Black College, USA
from IMDB
The visuals of the campus buildings and entrance to the fictional Hillman College were of Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

It's funny, when the school was shown in "The Cosby Show" and early eps of this series it wasn't an all black College. Suddenly they got rid of all the non-blacks.
IT'S RACIAL!!!

Whatever, I never watched the show close enough to notice any other white devi...er um... white people... after Marisa Tomei.
