Consuelos is attending New York University, where she's studying music and where her older brother, Michael, previously graduated with a degree in film studies. The middle child was born to go to college, as her mother revealed on an episode of Ripa's show. "When she was a little girl, like, 3 years old, she used to play dorm room in her bedroom," Ripa recalled (via People). However, although the actress and talk show host is glad her daughter is adjusting to college life well, she wishes Consuelos had gone further afield to get the proper experience.
During an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Ripa admitted it's tougher to get the requisite distance to find yourself when your family lives in the same city. "My main concern was, 'I don't know if you should be this close to home because I don't want you using home like it's your home. I want this to be your experience,'" she explained.
