Lots of young people want the typical university experience, so why would Gen Z celebrities be any different? Although a lot of Gen Zers live for constant content, education is important, too. Viewers have to respect celebrities’ “leave of absence” from projects to have their own educational growth and attend college.
Everyone knows that Alix Earle attends the University of Miami, but have you ever thought about where other celebs go? Making the decision to go to college is one thing, but for a celeb that already has a profitable career (and possibly has since childhood), it has to carry even more weight. (Side note: Imagine not having to figure out where your tuition is coming from! That’s the dream!)
With that much opportunity, celebs will want to go to the best school they deem fit for their field of study. Lucky for you, I’ve found where 12 Gen Z celebs are currently attending college. Only the best for the best.
