Most people agree that going to college and obtaining a degree provides numerous benefits in life. There are many people, however, who go on to become successful without ever having attended a university. There are several celebrities who fall into this category. The following are 10 celebrities who never went to college.
Emma Stone
Stone was born in Arizona, spent part of her formative years in Los Angeles, and now resides in New York. Stone attended Catholic high school for awhile and was also homeschooled at various points. She never attended college and instead wanted to be an actress. She convinced her mother to move to Los Angeles when she was fifteen so she could pursue her acting career. Her obvious talent and drive to become an actress has helped propel Stone to the success she’s found in the film industry. Her breakout role was “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past,” in 2009. She’s gone on to play the love interest of Peter Parker in the “Amazing Spider-Man.”
