Cole and Dylan Sprouse of the Disney Series The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and The Suite Life On Deck have decided to attend New York University next fall.
“Cole is sticking to entertainment and will be majoring in Television and Film Production with a minor in Drama and Dylan plans to venture into the Fine Arts with a minor in Economics! ”
They are 18?! Why do they still seem so young to me. If you did not watch those shows on the Disney Channel, they were also the little boys that shared the role of Julian “Frankenstein” in Big Daddy. And they’re all grown up now.
I think it’s really great that child actors that are pretty much set for life still decide to pursue higher education. It shows that they care about it and that they can juggle these two lives that don’t mesh at all. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. Cole and Dylan aren’t the first though, many actors have done it and succeeded. For example, James Franco has attended three or four different schools and got the degrees.
I was having this conversation with my best friend recently and I posed the question: “If you had enough money to support yourself for the rest of your life, would you still attend college?” We both said yes. What would you say?
