'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson, 21, recently announced a decision to take time off from her Ivy League education at Brown University in Rhode Island, due to professional demands on her time.
She began at college in 2009, but last month told fans on her official site she had hit the brakes on her studies. This weekend, a new Associated Press report [via the New York Times] clarifies Watson's plan.
The British actress' spokesperson, Vanessa Davies, now says that Watson is not returning to Brown at all. Instead, she will be transferring to another university this fall.
Although Watson has said that her introduction to campus life at Brown was "awful" (and football fans reportedly made her uncomfortable), the spokeswoman claims there's no truth to rumors that the movie star was "bullied" out of school. Davies says the actress wants to pursue a different course of study "not offered at Brown."
In autumn 2010, around the same time reports surfaced of an embarrassing nude photo going viral on campus, allegedly showing Watson with only a towel around her waist, the diplomatic star was nevertheless quoted in Marie Claire saying, "Brown has a real sense of community, and people are very protective of me. They really look out for me; they want me to feel like I'm part of it."
No longer a part of Brown's community, fans await news about where the studious Brit (and new face of Lacome) plans to crack the books next.

Emma Watson is no stranger to handling stress in the limelight. The Harry Potter star recently decided to take a break from Brown University after the stress of balancing acting and school
became to difficult. And the 20-year-old actress is offering her well wishes to another fellow Brit under extreme scrutiny — Kate Middleton.
Emma feels the scrutiny she deals with does not compare with Kate, 29, as she prepares to marry Prince William on April 29 in Westminster Abbey — with the eyes of the world on her.
“Poor girl,” Emma told the Associated Press. “That must be an incredible amount of pressure. I hope she’s enjoying it. Must be intense.”
Earlier this week while on tour in northern England with her fiancé, Kate was asked if she was nervous about the big day.
“Yes, of course I am,” she replied.
Anyone would be as an estimated two billion TV viewers around the world will be watching her walk down the aisle.

She's about to marry Prince William in a fairytale wedding, but there's one Brit who isn't envious of Kate Middleton: 'Harry Potter' actress Emma Watson.
"Poor girl, that must be an incredible amount of pressure," Watson said to the The Associated Press (via Huffington Post) about the bride-to-be. "I hope she's enjoying it. Must be intense."
According to PEOPLE, a local reporter asked Middleton if she was nervous about the upcoming weddings, to which she replied, "Yes, of course I am."
Watson is certainly no stranger to the spotlight, thanks to her decade-long role as Hermione Granger in the 'Harry Potter' films. She's been catapulted into fame, not just in the UK but around the world, similar to Middleton.
In addition to co-starring with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in the film franchise, Watson was recently announced as the new face of Lancome -- a big step away from the wizarding world.
However, all of her 'Potter' duties and endorsement deals took a toll on the academic actress, causing her to take time off from her studies at Brown University, where she enrolled in 2009.
"I just knew I was going to be beating myself up because I wasn't going to be able to be doing the best that I knew that I could at school or in my job," she told the AP. "If I'd been getting B's or C's I would've been really upset."
Watson plans to return to the classroom this fall as soon as she's finished with promotion for the final 'Harry Potter' film, which opens this summer.

It's all work (and definitely some play) as Emma Watson was spotted in Paris, France this week shooting her first ad campaign for Lancome
The 20-year-old "Harry Potter" star confirmed on Twitter that she was the new face of the French beauty house. "It stars with an L and ends with an E," Watson wrote on Monday. "I'm sure you have guessed the new face of Lancome is me!"
And now these new images courtesy of Fame Pictures show that she's taking her job seriously.
Dressed in a black biker jacket, peach chiffon strapless dress, and peep-toe booties, Watson lit up the streets with her good looks as fashion photographer Mario Testino captured it all.
And we love how she mixed edgy with girly, wearing her cropped brown 'do slick back, bold brows, matte red lips and black nail polish.
There's no word yet on whether the photo shoot was for Lancome makeup or fragrance, but whatever beauty product the hot young star is fronting, she's owning it!

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.
