On the first day of classes, it's always nice to see a familiar face -- even if you're only familiar with it from those Twilight movies your mom's always spazzing about.
Dakota Fanning is enrolled at NYU for this fall, the university's news blog NYULocal confirmed. (That said, the 17-year-old has suggested as much for ages; reports she'd be headed to the school re-surfaced at the time of her high school graduation this past June, and as NYULocal notes, she'd been spotted touring the school's Gallatin college as early as spring 2010.)
More recently, Fanning has been filming the upcoming drama Now is Good in England, though if you really can't wait until September to ask her to join your study group, she's listed in the NYU Gmail directory. That's how NYULocal confirmed her freshman status, by the way -- in case she needed a better reminder to change her privacy settings, already. First year is packed with more than enough reading, without having to sift through a deluge of deranged fanmail, thanks.
