Rhode Island’s most famous undergraduate student hasn’t ditched the state after all.

Amy Willis reports for The Daily Telegraph:

Emma Watson, the star of the Harry Potter films, is set to return to Brown University in January next year to complete her degree, her spokesperson has confirmed. …

Watson, who originally enrolled in September 2009 for a four-year degree, put her studies on hold at the Ivy League university in 2011 while she finished working on the final instalment of the Harry Potter films. …

The actress has previously admitted finding studying at Brown University hard and said she her success makes it a struggle going out in public places.

“My first two years at Brown weren’t easy, not because I was bullied or because anyone gave me a particularly hard time, but just because, you know, without the collegiate system … and at Brown everyone does completely different things and very much chooses their own path, which is great, but it’s also much more difficult, too. You’re not with a group of people all the time at one time,” she said.

Ms. Watson has a standing invitation to appear on Newsmakers or Executive Suite any week she likes.
