• The First 10 Days: I Came to College… But I Wasn't Going Outside
    1 Oct 2026

    Remember your first 10 days of college? Everybody was outside, making friends, finding parties, and living their best college lives. But what happens when your college experience doesn't start quite like everyone else's?

    In the first episode of A Very, Very Different World, host DJ C. DeVone takes us back to her first 10 days at Howard University, when going away to college didn't necessarily mean going out.

    Inspired by A Different World, we're revisiting the expectations versus the reality of HBCU life, finding your people, navigating independence, and discovering that everyone's college journey looks a little different.

    Looking back through grown eyes, C. DeVone reflects on those early decisions and asks whether she'd approach things differently today.

    Because sometimes the moments you missed are just as memorable as the ones you experienced.

    Welcome to A Very, Very Different World. Class is officially in session!
