Drexel University Taking Part in New Reality Series BACK ON CAMPUS For ABC Family

Four Drexel University Students and Their Parents Subject of ABC Family Series BACK ON CAMPUS

The last thing college students would think about is going to school with one of their parents. For four students at Drexel University, going to classes and sharing their dorm rooms with their parents became a reality and the focus of ABC Family´s reality series BACK ON CAMPUS.

The show will premiere at 10 p.m. ET, April 8 on ABC Family with back-to-back half-hour episodes and air with two episodes on three subsequent Saturdays. Each week, viewers will get a chance to trail the college lives of Phil Marino Jr., Susan Seborg, Leighton Phillips and Julie Ciccarone as they cram for tests, host parties and attend classes with their parents, Phil Marino Sr., Kevin Seborg, Damaris Phillips and Charlene Ciccarone.

The parents will get a chance to live the college experience they missed out on as they enroll at Drexel for one term. The parents´ encounter will bring to them a completely different perspective on theirs and their childrens´ lives. From getting a part-time job to cramming for finals, the parents are involved in everything.

For Damaris Phillips, BACK ON CAMPUS is a way to experience what she missed when she chose motherhood over college; Kevin Seborg wants to reconnect with his daughter; Phil Marino Sr. would like to get the "smartness" college has to offer; and Charlene Ciccarone is ready to have some fun. But will their mortified kids be ready to share their lives and their space with their parents?
