Tyra Banks Living in College Dorm


Tyra Banks living the life of a college co-ed while studying at Harvard University.

Tyra Banks is getting the full college experience while studying business at Harvard University - she's living in a dorm.

The America's Next Top Model host, who formed her own production company Bankable Productions years ago, has revealed she has gone back to school in order to sharpen her skills and better prepare herself as a leader of the brand.

She tells late night TV host Jimmy Fallon, "I feel I have to in order to grow my business. People like Sir Richard Branson and Walt Disney, these people have created these brands and businesses from scratch. So I look to them as role models. I want to grow my company."

And the former Victoria's Secret model insists she hasn't received any preferential treatment due to her superstar status: "We do live in dorms. I have my own room. So I have my own bedroom but we share a kitchen, a living room, a study area. It's mandatory dorms. I freaked out in the beginning.

"I was like, 'Oh yes, I'm going to Harvard and I'll be at the Four Seasons down the street.' And they were like, 'Girl, you're going to be living in dorms.'
"I was like, 'What?' I freaked, freaked, freaked out. And now I wouldn't have it any other way. It's like summer camp!

"Every time a term ends I get withdrawals and I get attitude for like three months because I miss my friends, I miss my professors, it's like a bubble."

One who relies on common sense more then money.
someone who wants to improve on themselves beyond the stability of money. Someone who wants to specializes and gain knowledge in a certain field of interest maybe. That was a very stupid comment because money has nothing to do with gaining knowledge or an education. I can see that this next generation won't have anything coming.

Are some of these responses for real? Thank you @817 and whoever else attempted to enlighten a few who are in dire need of enlightenment.

she can enlighten herself but she needs to take her rich ass to some off campus apartments. great, while most students are worrying about studying and how the current semester's tuition is going to be paid, especially at harvard, they have Tyra's lacefront presence to remind them everyday of the money they could use to pay for school, bills, and other amenities. college is about surving stress and overcoming so when you get that degree on your stage, it's all worth it. you tell me what the hell Tyra has to overcome in college as a millionaire. give me a freaking break.

Damn if she go to harvard, I should be the professor.
