Lex Kendal. The plan was to live at home, commute to school, and convince her best friend Kat to enroll with her. It didn’t quite work out. Now she’s using her unstoppable powers of dorkdom to survive dorm life, befriend the campus oddball, wage war on mountainous homework, and construct the most impressive cup fort known to man in the cafeteria.

Kat Rodriguez. Lex’s best friend. They’ve been inseparable since childhood, but now Kat’s at a different school. And she’s definitely busy, if infrequent emails and zero phone calls are any indication. Kat’s great at giving advice, but where is she when Lex needs it the most?

Felicity Cunningham. She’s not quite the roommate Lex pictured. Then again, Lex isn’t quite the roommate Felicity pictured. Felicity loves new friends, extra-curriculars, and marathons of “Boyz ‘N Breakups” (especially Season 3). She isn’t sure what to do with a sometimes-moody roommate who watches sci-fi and has a framed cat picture on the dresser.

Andi Rice. She may say something blunt the first time you meet her, but at least she’ll come to your rescue when it counts. Get on her good side by being funny (even if at your own expense). She loves soccer because it makes her like Superwoman–just as tough, better uniform.

Turner Taglieri. If he can’t win you over with his naive friendliness and impossible optimism, he’ll win you over by having exactly what you need in his bottomless backpack. It’s normal to carry this much stuff around, right?

Max Fitzgerald. Max is the middle child in a family of five kids, all sisters except for him, so he knows how to get along with everybody and values keeping the peace. He’s a loyal and laid-back friend. He’ll do just about anything for Lex.

Grant Morgan. Grant loves to prank people and is always up for a good time with Turner and the gang. But he’s also a very dedicated student, and often plays the straight man to Turner’s antics.
