Millie Bobby Brown has enrolled at Purdue University in Indiana to study human services.
The 18-year-old actress – who is best known for starring in Netflix’s Stranger Things, has revealed she’s enrolled as an online student at the academic institution, which is based in the same state as the show.
However, she’ll be doing all of her studying online, meaning she won’t need to be in Indiana in order to complete the course.

Millie told Allure that the course will help her to ‘learn about the system and how to help young people’.
The star will also continue to work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, which helps children in danger.
The actress is conscious of her influence on young people, in particular, and Millie insists she’s happy to accept the responsibility that’s come her way.
She said: ‘Of course, people can look at it as pressure or scary, but I think that’s the most exciting part of my job.
‘People are all looking at me, ‘What are you going to say, Millie?’

‘I’m going to say, ‘Young girls deserve an education. Young people everywhere deserve equal rights. [You] deserve to love the people that you want to love. Be the people that you want to be and achieve the dreams that you want to achieve.” That’s my message.
The Enola Holmes star is keen to insist that she’s not perfect, despite her early successes.
She said: ‘Ultimately, all I wanted to do within my career is help young girls and young people out there know that I, too, go through things.
‘I’m not this perfect person that is selling skin-care products and [who is] in Stranger Things’. I absolutely have made wrong decisions.
Millie has been dating Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi, 20, for the past year.
They were first linked together in June 2021.
Jake is the oldest son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, 60, and Dorothea Hurley, 59, and a student at Syracuse University.
Millie has recently wrapped up on on a second Enola Holmes film for Netflix in which she plays the mystery solving younger sister of detective Sherlock Holmes.
