Penn: Emma Watson Is Not Coming Here For Grad School

Is an A- list actress coming to Philadelphia? Earlier today rumors swirled on social media that Emma Watson had chosen the University of Pennsylvania for grad school.

Watson graduated with a bachelor\'s degree in English literature from the Ivy League university in Rhode Island.

Watson had a busy film career during her time as a student, releasing both parts of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," \'\'The Perks of Being a Wallflower," \'\'This is the End," and the recent Biblical epic "Noah”.
