Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Denise was a freshman at Hillman College, who was the president of the college?

Answer: Dr. Haines

When the Huxtables went to the Hillman College commencement, Dr. Haines was being honored because he was retiring. Cliff was the master of ceremonies and Clair sang a song with the school choir. The actor who played Dr. Haines also played the president of Mission College in the Spike Lee joint "School Daze."
2. Which college did Sondra attend?

Answer: Princeton

Dr. Haines: "Sondra, we're still mad at you for choosing Princeton over us." Sondra met Elvin at Princeton where she majored in psychology. After graduation, she married Elvin, and instead of starting law school, she and Elvin opened up a wilderness store.
3. When Denise was choosing a college, which was NOT one of her choices?

Answer: Spelman College

Denise had five colleges to choose from. Vanessa didn't want Denise to choose NYU because that meant that Denise would stay home, and Vanessa would not be able to have her own room. Theo wanted her to choose an out of state college (preferably Berkley) so that he could talk her into lending him her car while she was away.
4. What was Elvin's major?

Answer: Art History

In the episode when Clair wanted to buy her uncle's painting at the auction, Elvin told Cliff he knew Clair's uncle's work because he was an Art History major. Also in this episode, Elvin offered to cook dinner for the family because he wanted Clair to like him. Elvin was once very chauvanistic, so he wanted Clair to see that he no longer thought that cooking was "women's work."
5. Which exam depended on Theo making the Dean's List?

Answer: Economics

Theo was cutting out all fun so that he could do well on his Economics exam. But then he met a young lady named Cheryl. There was going to be a party that night and Cheryl was going to be there. Theo starting thinking that maybe a little fun wouldn't hurt, because he really wanted to see Cheryl again.

She ended up being his girlfriend. Cheryl was played by actress Vanessa Williams, who also played Jade, Denny's girlfriend in the fifth season.
6. Which college did Vanessa attend?

Answer: Lincoln University

Vanessa started college early because she went to summer school so that she could graduate a year early. She met her fiance Dabnis in college. Dabnis wasn't a student at Lincoln, he was the maintenance man. Vanessa and Dabnis were engaged for six months by the time Cliff and Clair found out about it. They ended up breaking up because Vanessa wasn't ready for marriage.
7. When Theo and Cockroach were studying William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," which subject were they studying?

Answer: History

Theo said that teachers needed to make up their minds. Was Shakespeare English, or was he History? He couldn't be both. This was the episode when the family had a barbeque, and two college professors were their guests. They gave Theo and Cockroach a lot of insight into the "Julius Caesar" play.

Theo and Cockroach even wrote a rap song about it called, "Great Caesar's Ghost." They also read a story that Rudy wrote. It was called, "The Princess and the Dragon."
8. When Theo and his friends were studying for college boards, what did they study first?

Answer: Analogies

This was the episode when Theo and Tanya broke up. One of Theo's friends made an analogy in regards to Theo and Randi Taylor. Randi was the girl Theo liked while he was dating Tanya. Theo and his friends spent more time talking about girls than studying.
9. Sondra and Elvin had college buddies who graduated with them. What did these friends become?

Answer: Plumbers

Sondra and Elvin's plumber friends came to fix a leak at the Huxtable home. Cliff gave them a hard time because he felt that they all threw away their college educations by not using their degrees, and becoming plumbers.
10. Why does Rudy hate college?

Answer: It takes everybody away

Cliff: "What's wrong, Pud?"
Rudy: "I hate college."
Cliff: "Did someone tell you you had to go now?"
Rudy: "No."
Cliff: "Then why do you hate it?"
Rudy: "College takes everybody away."

Rudy was sad because Denise was soon to leave for college. But Cliff was able to cheer her up by reminding her that Denise would come home to visit just like Sondra did.
