Summary Dakota Fanning is starting school at NYU in the fall, an American newspaper reported.
The student-run website nyulocal.com followed up on the 17-year-olds visit to the school last spring, and sure enough, a search for the Runaways stars name brought up an NYU email address.Fanning graduated from North Hollywood private school Campbell Hall in June with the class of 2011. I think it was really important to have the high school experience, she said on the Today show last fall. I just think everyone always looks back on that time in their life. Who was homecoming princess and [did] the cheerleading ... and all the things that go along with high school? And I wanted to have that. Im really lucky that I found a school that allows me to do both.Fanning wont be the first famous student to attend NYU. Currently The Sixth Sense star Haley Joel Osment is enrolled, as are former Disney stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen famously attended -- but didnt graduate -- in the fall of 2004.In May 2011, James Franco received his MFA in Filmmaking from NYU.
