For most incoming freshmen, the first day of college usually means moving in and setting up your new dorm, attending orientation, and trying to figure out what lecture hall your first class is in. But for a few celebrity students this fall, it also means arriving on campus with another thing to navigate – having a famous last name. Even though they may have famous parents, celebrity kids are also going through the same college jitters, and might even be your next lab partner or dorm roommate!
And of course, having famous parents means having an extraordinary amount of talent, and this wave of incoming celebrity freshmen has it all. Whether they’re following in their parent’s footsteps, or taking on their own path, they’re doing it all alongside everyone else, and learning the hard way that exam season is no joke! If you’re wondering about the famous faces who are a part of the new incoming class of college students, here are seven celebrity kids beginning their journeys on campus this year, perhaps alongside you!

He wrote, “You have no idea how special it is for me to watch you follow my path to Yale. On the brink of 18, you have already created a new legacy for our family. I have no idea what your future holds, but I cannot wait to watch the movie unfold.
