They're here for a higher education . . . and you won't
believe how far they'll go.
Dexter College is a small liberal arts college in the quiet
town of Home, Maine. But it won't stay quiet for long with
this group of freshmen. There's Shipley--blonde and
beautiful, the object of envy and more than a little lust.
Determined to assert herself and to shed her good-girl
image, she buys cigarettes and condoms, because that's what
every self-respecting college girl does. Her edgy roommate,
Eliza, came to Dexter to get noticed, and she has the
attitude and the mouth to prove it. Then there's Tom.
Handsome, privileged, used to getting his own way, he's a
jock-turned-artist who thinks his paintings will change the
world. Sensitive Nick, Tom's wake-and-bake pot-smoking
roommate, wants to follow in the footsteps of his boarding-
school hero. And then there are brother and sister Adam and
Tragedy Gatz. The freckle-faced farm boy lives at home with
his parents and his little sister, who does all she can to
stop him from being a wuss.
As Shipley, Eliza, Tom, Nick, and Adam find out, that first
year of college is more than credits and cramming. Between
the lust and the love, the secrecy and the scandal, they'll
all receive an unexpected education. It's a time of
shifting alliances, unrequited crushes, and coming of age.
Find Yourself is Dexter's motto. And they are determined to
do just that
