Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are about to begin the most exciting year of their lives....

Jessica has everything she's dreamed of: freedom, independence, and all the guys on campus-except the one she wants.
Elizabeth hopes college will be just like high school-only better! Her longtime boyfriend, Todd Wilkins, wants their love to go further. Can their relationship survive freshman year?
Enid Rollins, Elizabeth's high-school best friend, is glamorous Alexandra now: party girl, sorority pledge and no friend of Elizabeth's.
Winston Egbert vows to be taken seriously at college. But he's been registered as "Winnie" and put in an all-female dorm!

Hello Freedom!

In the clear afternoon, the campus of Sweet Valley University looked even prettier and more perfect than it did in the colorful brochures. From the sun-dappled tree-lined streets, to the beautiful red-tiled buildings, to the groups of students laughing and talking as they strolled across the lawns, everything about the campus seemed to say, "Welcome to College. Welcome to freedom."
"We made it!" Jessica shouted as she followed Todd's BMW through the gates of Sweet Valley University. She sounded the horn. "Hello, freedom, here I come!"
Elizabeth felt a ripple of excitement herself. Her sister was right - they had made it! They really had! They weren't little kids anymore. They were college freshmen, adults in the real world.

Love, Lies, and Jessica Wakefield
