Product Description
From Amazon.com
This ambitious 1995 film by John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood) doesn't quite succeed at painting the illuminating, collective portrait of college life in the '90s that the director seeks. But Singleton does do a fine job of defining some conflicting impulses for young people on the cusp of adulthood, particularly the desire to broaden horizons on the one hand and circle the wagons with like-minded allies on the other. Students in the film's Columbus University divide themselves along lines of race, sexual preferences, ideology, and, most dangerously, levels of paranoia. Among the fine cast is Michael Rapaport, who portrays a loner drawn to a local community of neo-Nazis. His resultant problems with the school's African-Americans takes over the story at the expense of other, parallel dramas, but Singleton's insights into race hatred on campus--a microcosm of the surrounding culture--is not to be dismissed. --Tom Keogh

A powerful piece of work,
By "36_crazyfarts" (Qld, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Higher Learning (DVD)
"Higher Learning" stumbles upon many issues, the most emphasised being racism. At first, I thought this movie was one of those teen movies where they put in some cheap (immature) laughs here and there but it's a movie that really grows on you as it progresses and you may actually start to feel for some of the characters. I kind of got the same feeling as I did when I watched "American History X". Both films suck you in right till the end and then hit you with one big punch.The DVD is nothing to rant about, it does have a trailer, a commentary track and some talent profiles. Nothing fancy but better than a kick in the pants. I have yet to watch the film while the commentary is playing. I'm not sure if I should because I believe the film can be interpreted in many different ways and I don't want anyone changing it for me.

Higher Learning was a great movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Higher Learning (VHS Tape)
I think this movie was great, it is definitely one of my favorites. I think all the characters work well together and it brought to light a lot of issues that are still going on today. It also had a lot of positive messages in it. I would highly recomend watching it if you have not already.

Great Movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Higher Learning (DVD)
Being a college guy I had to see this movie for Kristy Swanson(Dude, Where's My Car?), she is so hot. This is a great movie and all to true. The great acting of all the stars made this movie a unforgetable one. I also liked the fact that Jay Ferguson was cast in the role of "Billy", he is so hot. (...)
