Boy Meets World chronicles the life of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) from middle school up to his college years, as he grows up and deals with the problems alongside his best friend Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong) and girlfriend, Topanga Lawrence (Danielle Fishel). As they grow up, with the constant guidance of mentor and teacher, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), they learn valuable life lessons. Some of the problems this group of friends face together are Shawn feeling the strains of his "wrong side of the tracks" background, Topanga and Cory's relationship being tested, and Eric (Will Friedle), Cory's brother, trying to figure out what to do with his future. With the support of everyone, Cory learns to accept the changes that life brings and becomes more responsible and less naive in the process.
