John Singleton has re-created the classrooms, frat parties, financial aid offices, rec. rooms, dorm rooms, track, field, and cafeterias of the modern college campus to tell three separate stories about three different people that are at once commonly experienced and uniquely their own. © 1995 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

This came out when I was a child, so the college experience went right over my head. As an adult, I have garnered a greater appreciation for this cinematic masterpiece. While some of the problems didn't ring a bell with me (aka the dorm and fraternity experiences), there were a lot of issues that hit home. It is astounding that 19 years later, these problems are still alive and well in the collegiate system. Especially violence, racism, and sniper shootings/gun-related tragedies. The great theme of awakening and changing as a young adult should be a theme we can all agree upon. As presented in the movie, these changes send us in all different directions, fueled on different ideologies. I have seen this masterpiece a few times, but only in parts. Having the time to sit down and analyze it for a class has given me a greater appreciation.

Higher Learning is an excellent movie, singleton strikes gold again. The end scene is extremely memorable; having American flag display as the words "unlearn" appear on screen, it is a great statement that shows the true colors of this land.

A teaching lesson in this film. Loved back then n still do now. Must see movie
