Six lively college-bound girls tumble off the train in the sleepy town of Briarhurst, their chatter filling the air as they argue over a creaking, two‑story bus that seems barely fit their luggage. The driver, a grizzled veteran of the campus, boasts of the old vehicle’s twenty‑year run while the girls tease each other about modern comforts and the looming night‑time dinner. Their personalities shine through quick jokes, nervous excitement, and a shared sense of adventure as the bus clanks up the winding hill toward the college grounds.
Arriving at the campus, the friends discover a school in transition: a beloved dean has stepped down and a young, reform‑minded successor is already stirring resistance among the faculty. Assigned to different residences—two to a sorority house and the rest to the east‑lawn dorms—the girls face the challenge of staying together while navigating new rules, quirky traditions, and the mystery of the seemingly cheerful “Happiness House.” Their bond and curiosity promise plenty of mischief and camaraderie as they settle into college life.
