Brown University just lost its most recognizable co-ed.
On Monday, Emma Watson announced she'll be temporarily leaving the Ivy League school to promote the final installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

"As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student and fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible," she wrote on her official website.

"I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects," Watson, 20, continued. "I will still be working towards my degree...it's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought."

Before Watson enrolled at Brown University in September 2009, she also considered attending Trinity College, Cambridge, Yale University and Columbia.
Tell Us What You Think
4Usually when people "take a break" from college they don't go back! I hope Emma actually finishes.
I hope she'll continue her study soon.. When someone take a break for quite some time, they become lazy to continue it..
I just adore this young lady. What a great role model for young girls compared to the trash in the US!
Who else believes US should change the title of this story. She didn't drop out and the article even states that.
