Higher Ed (2001)

Ed (Pras from the Fugees) enters college on a track scholarship to escape some thugs from his past. Campus life, however, is filled with hurdles, and Ed’s stoner roommate, Bud (Aries Spears), makes it hard not to fall back on old habits. But Ed’s romantic interest, Lisa (Leila Arcieri), provides the incentive for Ed, if only he can win her away from her jock boyfriend, Craig (Hill Harper).
