Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 18, is going to college. Having already been named one of TIME’s most influential people in 2018, the Enola Holmes actress is ready to take on her next challenge, juggling work, school, and life just like any other college student.

Brown has enrolled as an online college student at Purdue University to study human services, a program in which “you learn about the system and how to help young people,” she told Allure. Like black-ish’s Yara Shahidi, who began at Harvard University with a plan to major in Interdisciplinary Sociology and African American Studies, The Circle’s Emma Watson, who attended Brown University, and Thor: Love and Thunder’s Natalie Portman, who attended Harvard University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology (while acting in the Star Wars trilogy), before her, Brown is joining the ranks of actresses who choose to continue their education during a pivotal time in their acting careers.

In a recent interview with Allure, Brown opened up about her next adventure at Purdue, saying:

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.

Millie Bobby Brown is Returning to Enola Holmes 2 on November 4th

     Netflix

Millie Bobby Brown is once again returning as Sherlock Holmes’ teenage sister, Enola, in Enola Holmes 2, arriving at Netflix on November 4, 2022. After Enola successfully solves her first case, she wants to follow in the footsteps of her famous brother (Henry Cavill) and open a detective agency. “We set the film in the hustle and bustle of London, which is something that we didn’t really get to see as much in the first one,” Brown teases about the Enola Holmes sequel. “We got to really see what this young girl is doing in this crazy city that surrounds her night and day, and we get to explore these places in great detail.”

Enola Holmes is a passion project for Brown, who helped bring the film to the screen after her sister introduced her to the original book series by Nancy Springer. And once again, Brown serves as one of the film’s producers.
