What Season 1 of The Sex Lives of College Girls

Kimberly, Leighton, Whitney and Bela are eighteen-year-old roommates who start their freshman year at Essex University, a fictional campus in Vermont. Far from their families, they decide to let their sexual desires run free through parties and hookups with guys across campus. But college life doesn't always live up to their expectations. Kimberly doesn't feel up to the scene, Whitney deals with soccer and her relationship with Dalton, and Bela clashes with her new surroundings and with the magazine Catullan. Meanwhile, Leighton balances her studies with a volunteer job she isn't excited about. And so each of them takes her first steps toward adulthood.
