Lizzie Bennet is a scholarship student at Longborn, a prestigious private school for that isn't known for welcoming outsiders. Their male counterparts at Pemberly aren't any better. Although Lizzie's roommate Jane and her crush, Charles Bingley, are nice, Charles' friend Will Darcy joins the many people who look down on Lizzie for not having money.
