Stranger Things stars Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp are just two of many famous celebs going off to college this year.&nbsp;

First comes fame, then comes college..? That's exactly the case for certain names in Hollywood. When the hit Netflix sci-fi show Stranger Things first aired in 2016, actress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/millie-bobby-brown-net-worth-stranger-things-enola-holmes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Millie Bobby Brown</a> was only <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/stranger-things-cast-season-4-ages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12</a> years old. Her co-star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/noah-schnapp-a-double-digit-age-is-huge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Noah Schnapp</a> was only <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/stranger-things-cast-season-4-ages" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11</a> when filming began. Fast forward six years (and a lot of fame) later, and they're both starting college. Despite their time in the spotlight, these two are ready to experience a fairly normal part of young adulthood&mdash;while also getting their degree in the process.&nbsp;
But these two aren't the only well-known names headed off to their next four-year adventure. Some of these soon-to-be college attendees also have famous parents. Here's all the big names starting college this year.

Three-time <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-looks-from-the-2022-grammy-awards-red-carpet-fashion-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy Award</a> winner <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/olivia-rodrigo-teases-new-music-2022-driving-home-2-u-movie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Rodrigo</a> was spotted taking a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/house-techno-music-history-dance-party-songs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">music</a> production course at the University of Southern California's Thorton School of Music in fall 2022. Another <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch9pjj0gg_0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">image</a> shows her in-school contact having her listed as an "Undergraduate Visitor" which would allow her to take classes without enrolling in a full degree program.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/millie-bobby-brown-net-worth-stranger-things-enola-holmes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Millie Bobby Brown's</a> Indiana ties are strong. While the show that made her famous, aka&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/stranger-things-season-4-trailer-cast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stranger Things</a>, takes place in Hawkins, Indiana, it looks like Brown will now be linked to West Lafayette, Indiana. In an interview with <a href="https://www.allure.com/story/millie-bobby-brown-cover-interview-september-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allure</a>,&nbsp;Brown revealed that she is <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">taking college classes online at Purdue University. Her choice of studies? Human services.&nbsp;

Back in December 2021, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/stranger-things-nike-collab-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stranger Things</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/noah-schnapp-a-double-digit-age-is-huge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actor</a> shared some exciting news with his fans: he got accepted into the University of Pennsylvania. In a TikTok, with OneRepublic&rsquo;s song "I Lived" playing in the background, Schnapp and his family are seen jumping for joy after receiving word of his acceptance. While it appears Schnapp no longer has the video up, luckily, Netflix <a href="https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1471937089793003521?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1471937089793003521%7Ctwgr%5E9170f11d4a45c242061d8585a5006b422088bbaf%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teenvogue.com%2Fstory%2Fnoah-schnapp-video-college-acceptance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reposted</a> it. The caption read, "This video of Noah Schnapp learning he got accepted to college is the purest thing in the world. Congrats Noah!!"&nbsp;

In September 2022, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/heidi-klum-has-million-dollar-insurance-for-her-legs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heidi Klum</a> revealed to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/heidi-klum-reacts-to-daughter-leni-going-to-college-and-reflects-on-ups-and-downs-of-modeling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight</a>&nbsp;that her daughter Leni was making the move to attend college. But while the Big Apple might be a big change for some, Leni has already spent some time in the city of dreams. "I started in New York, so she knows New York inside and out because we shot&nbsp;Project Runway&nbsp;there for so many years,&rdquo; said her mother. But even though she shared her daughter's big milestone, Heidi did not reveal which school her daughter will be attending.&nbsp;
