Millie Bobby Brown Enrolls At Purdue University

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown has announced that she began her college education. While also continuing to act, promote an album she recorded in quarantine and operate her skincare line Florence by Mills, the actor is also taking online classes at Purdue University.

Purdue is coincidentally based in Indiana, where her psychic character of Eleven also ended up in Stranger Things, though due to Brown’s work schedule she likely won’t be showing up for in-person classes much. Brown has reportedly declared a human services major, where you “learn about the system and how to help young people” as she described.

“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,” Brown also said in an encouraging message.

She also briefly spoke about her relationship with influencer Hunter Ecimovic, which occurred when she was 16 and he was 20. She called the relationship an “unhealthy situation,” and said she filmed Stranger Things 4 while going through trauma related to it, and “no one on the set knew I was going through this.”

“Walking away and knowing that I’m worth everything and this person didn’t take anything from me, it felt very empowering,” Brown also recalled. “It felt like my life had finally turned a page and that I actually had ended a chapter that felt so f––king long.”

She is now in a much healthier relationship with Jake Bongiovi, the son of Jon Bon Jovi.

Brown is appearing in Enola Holmes 2 this year, which will be released in the latter part of 2022 by Netflix.
