I tend to think Emma Roberts is an entitled, smug little brat, but I keep holding out hope that she will eventually do some growing up, stop relying on nepotism, and begin to carve out her own identity separate from her Aunt Julia, and separate from Young, Privileged, Entitled Hollywood. Have my prayers just been answered? Emma confirms to Just Jared that she is currently headed to Sarah Lawrence College for her freshman year. She’s 20 – most incoming freshmen are still 18, right? I was 17 when I matriculated. Anyway, maybe Emma just wasn’t “happening” in Hollywood, or maybe she (gasp) actually wants to learn something beyond ordering lattes and shopping. I think she should be applauded.
Emma Roberts is hitting the books this fall. The 20-year-old Scream 4 actress (currently dating ex-Glee star Chord Overstreet) will begin her freshman year at Sarah Lawrence in Bronxville, New York when classes begin September 5.
“I’m leaving for New York tomorrow to attend my very first semester of college,” she exclusively told JustJared.com on Sunday night. “I’m studying English literature and couldn’t be more excited!”
Famous Sarah Lawrence alums include Barbara Walters, Tea Leoni, Julianna Margulies, Holly Robinson Peete, Elisabeth Rohm, Kyra Sedgwick, Carly Simon, Yoko Ono, Vera Wang, Eric Mabius, Larisa Oleynik, Carrie Fisher, Robin Givens, Lauren Holly and the late Jill Clayburgh.

Jesus, I didn’t know all of those chicks went to Sarah Lawrence! I had a friend who was desperate to go there back in the day – I think she did get in, but then she found out how much it was going to cost (Sarah Lawrence is private). She didn’t end up going.
Anyway, what are the odds Emma is just doing this to look brainy and intellectual and then she’ll be out of there as soon as she’s offered some parts? *coughcoughEmmaWatsoncough*
