Emma Watson Announces Plans to Leave College

Emma Watson's incredible balancing act between her high-profile acting career and her Ivy League education has impressed fans, but it seems to have proved too much for the young actress.

On her official site, the 20-year-old 'Harry Potter' star announced that she will be leaving Rhode Island's prestigious Brown University, where she began her undergraduate studies in 2009.



In a message to her fans, Watson wrote: "Hi everyone. As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible."



She continued: "I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree... it's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought. Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support."



Watson, who stars in the upcoming 'My Week With Marilyn,' has a busy schedule ahead of her already, with 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' hitting theaters this July.
