As she got older, Emma Watson's dedication to her studies remained just as important as ever. She ultimately decided to attend Brown University, an incredibly prestigious Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island, with an acceptance rate of only 7.7%, as of 2021 (via Gossip Cop). She would go on to receive her bachelor's degree in English literature and graduated in 2014, per Marie Claire.
While the academics were challenging, Watson told Rookie in 2013 that she loved the experience. "Really, I've kind of been in charge of my own education since I started out on Potter when I was 9 or 10," she explained. "And I liked that I could design my own major if I wanted to, and I could take independent studies if I wanted to on subjects that weren't necessarily in the curriculum. I did an independent study on the psychology and philosophy of how and why we fall in love, which was awesome."
But it wasn't all a walk in the park for Watson because being famous while attending college came with its own challenges.
