Emma Watson Settles on Brown—Extra Emphasis on “Settles”

by | April 13, 2009 at 11:23 am

The British tabloids leaked early this morning that Emma Watson has decided to matriculate at Brown this fall. Although she was spotted touring campuses in New Haven and Cambridge, it should be no surprise that the tweenie who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series would avoid the gothic arches and Georgian bricks in favor the legendary Providence shopping mall. (Fuck yeah, America.) Yale and his Harkness Tower and Harvard and her Annenberg are notably more Potter than Brown. And notably more difficult to get into.

According to the secret tipsters to News of the World, Emma just fell in love with Rhode Island. Or something:

She looked at universities over here [in the UK] but fell in love with Brown. She has a lot of friends there.”

If any of the sweet blogosphere rumors are true, Emma is going to be majoring in Greenpeace and hopes to become the captain of the inaugural Brown Quidditch team. She’s going for a minor in looking good and making me feel like a creep for watching this video.

Embedded video and action figure photos after the jump. Oh and you “friends” of Emma at Brown. We know you read IvyGate, so just start shoveling the dirt this way, please.

    So I guess I’m complete trash and garbage then……..because I’m going to Brown. Is there something wrong with it? I really thought that it was a great school and that I was making a better life for myself. Obviously, most of you just like to judge everyone else and their decisions. Grow up please, Brown, as well as all the other Ivy League schools are all exceptional institutions. Stop berating some in favor of others; they all have different personalities, and it’s an accomplishment to get accepted into any of them.

    Hell yes! I knew I made the right matriculation decision. And Lies? I picked Yale over Brown, precisely to avoid the ridiculous levels snobbery you display. Bruins ’13!

    Oh guys…
    First of all, all Ivy-leaguers are incredibly intelligent people whether they go to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, or Cornell, Brown, UPenn, or Dartmouth(why does there have to be two categories anyways?). Also, I’m not saying that because I’m going to one of the latter universities and want to bolster myself. I’m saying that because I believe it. (I go to Harvard, but I know geniuses who go to Cornell). And heck, there are incredibly intelligent people going to state schools and community colleges. Yeah, there are rich people going to ivies, but who says rich people can’t be intelligent? And also, it’s not all rich people. And guys, don’t be so hard on Harvard. I know there are douchy people who go there, but there are nice ones too–I promise.

    Also, Emma Watson is cool. Who cares if she goes to your school though. She is just a person. She is a very talented person, but aren’t most ivy-leaguers? I bet she’ll love Brown, but who’s to say that she wouldn’t have loved another ivy? To each her own. But heck, props to you Brown. I wouldn’t mind to meet her myself. She would be a fun person to know.
