@ Chase- Did you physically see her exam results? Celebs/famous kids constantly get into institutions on their status ALONE. ie: George Bush. Since daddy went to Yale, he got admitted to one of the top Ivy leage schools in America because of his name alone. His grades were NOT good enough to even get him admitted into the University of Texas, a state school and yes I know for a fact that is true.

wow, all of you will never know why she was accepted. Everyone that sends applications to ivy schools all have perfect school records therefore there has to be some niche you fill that can add to the university. So i am sure her fame was taken into consideration (get over it). I go to yale and can tell you everyone is smart and “well off” so stop carrying and go live your life.

@Ria – I’ve read several magazine interviews that talk about how smart she and the rest of the Harry Potter cast are. It doesn’t suprise me in the least that she made her way to an Ivy League school… a lot of Hollywood actresses and actors are actually very intelligent with degrees from a wide variety of colleges and universities… maybe you should check your facts before you make a comment based on your personal bias.

Also I think it’s cool that the students with her in the first picture seem completely unfazed by her presence. Harry Potter has a huge fan base, and I don’t doubt that most of them recognized her, it’s refreshing to see that people can look past the celebrity and see the person! I hope she enjoys her time in America and at Brown! Good Luck Emma!

Yeah I knew the helicopter story was BS right away since she seems ot be very intent on just being a normal student. Good for her, and i wish her luck with that. I don’t think it’ll be too tough, she seems very low key.

i’d just like to say that she didn’t get in just because of her movie star status – im english and over here getting straight As in your GCSEs and A levels (exams we do when we’re 18 and 16) is HUGE! i mean, nobody i know can do that – she’s like a miracle, so she deserves to be let in!

We could careless about celebs beeing on our campus such as miss Watson. We consider ourselves as celebs for going to Ivy League school. pfft.

I hope obnoxious fans and the paparazi leave her alone while she’s trying to do the college thing. It’s hard enough when you aren’t under public scrutiny.

Fortunately Emma’s classmates at Brown are a lot smarter than nearly everybody who either writes for an Internet gossip site or posts ignorantly to an Internet gossip site, so she will do just fine this semester.
I have been urging a freshman course at Yale in the basics of Internet fact-from-fiction sorting. Most viral eruptions are harmless, but a one day we’ll all be done in by a nasty panicky one.

Emma Watson did NOT arrive on campus in a helicopter. That is Internet viral nonsense.
The originator of the nonsense was the notorious gossip website JustJared.com, which similarly fabricated a story last June that Watson was enrolled at Columbia.
This time, JustJared’s “source” was a TWITTER TWEET, of all things. On September 2, a Twitter account tweeted from an office building somewhere in Providence: “I think Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) just landed in a helicopter with her mom outside my building.”
In fact, the Watson family had already been at Brown for several days when the absurd helicopter ride was supposed to have occurred.
JustJared.com has been lambasted in the forums for making the helicopter story up, but the horse is out of the barn and around the world today poor Watson is accused of wretched excess and ostentation.

@Nicola,

Claire Danes – Yale University
Natalie Portman – Havard University
Julia Stiles – NYU

to name a few. The Miley generation hasn’t even reached college age, so chill out.

NOO British girl through and through :P
I’m stoked that a chid movie star got straight As in her A Levels and is attending an Ivy league college and actually cares about her education. Seriously, how many movie stars actually bother to go to college from the States? I bet you Miley ‘buck-toothed’ Cyrus isn’t. Screw the Disney brats, Emma is the best role model you can get.

Yay Emma! Good to see a ‘movie star’ being down to earth and choosing college and education and a normal life for a little while.
I have to say though, these past few times I’ve seen pictures/interviews with her, she’s looking more and more like Kristin Stewart. I mean, not in attitude or anything, just in looks. then in these pictures, the way she is sitting is soooo kstew

@Ria – Apparently you don’t know anything. Emma didn’t get in because she’s a “movie star”, she’s actually quite smart and had amazing test results with her GCSE (some important test in the UK). If you think Harry Potter fails to get Oscar nominations because of her then you are widely mistaken. I’m a HP fan and all but, the movies aren’t Oscar worthy. The acting isn’t all that great and it isn’t her fault. Take the film(s) for what they are.

I agree. I’m from RI as well and as far as I know, most people don’t care that she’s here… and I as well could bump into her on Thayer and not know who she is..lol
