Where Did The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast Go to College?
We're taking a look at the lives of the RHOBH cast before they stepped in front of the Bravo cameras.
There's no doubt about it: The spotlight just finds the ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As we've learned over the years, the 90210 group consists of a talented bunch of businesswomen and entertainment industry queens. Between the current Season 13 cast, the ladies juggle acting, modeling, fashion design, entrepreneurship, and motherhood like it's no big deal.
Where did they learn to do all this, you ask? Some of the women headed straight from high school into their chosen professions and quickly found success, while several of the other cast members headed off to pursue college degrees after they graduated from high school.
Keep on scrolling to take a trip back in time and take a look back at the RHOBH ladies' lives before Bravo.
