Colleges known for their celebrity sightings?

Hey guys, I'm a bit into pop culture and I am wondering where I might encounter some of my fav celebs most often? Are there universities known for having many celebrity students, or perhaps guest speakers? Not to sound stalkerish, I promise!

Sure, there are definitely some colleges and universities that fall within areas known for being hubs of celebrity activity. For instance, colleges located in Los Angeles are naturally going to have higher celebrity engagement due to their proximity to Hollywood.

The University of Southern California (USC) and UCLA are two good examples. Both schools often have celebrities come in for speeches or as part of their curriculum. USC has a prestigious School of Cinematic Arts, which attracts actors, directors, and other entertainment industry professionals.

In the East, the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts is also famous for its celebrity guest lectures and the number of high-profile personalities that have studied there. Their faculty include members of the industry, so there's a good chance you could bump into someone famous.

Similarly, Ivy League schools like Harvard and Columbia have been the academic home to many famous students, from Natalie Portman to Emma Watson. They frequently have guest speakers who are influential figures in their fields which occasionally includes actors, writers, producers, and directors. These schools, while not in Los Angeles or New York City, still draw a significant number of famous people for various reasons, whether it be for speaking engagements or specialized programs.

Remember, though, that these universities provide rigorous academic programs, so you'll want to be sure that your interest in these institutions aligns well with your educational goals and not based solely on the possibility of celebrity sightings!
