James Franco Struts His Back to School Style

September 28, 2008

James Franco might have been trying to fit right in with the other Columbia students with his backpack and clipboard, but somehow we have a feeling he still stands out in class. Last week he poked fun at his student/celebrity status on SNL, but it seems like he's pretty devoted to getting that grad school diploma. Meanwhile on the Hollywood side of things — he signed on to star in an Allen Ginsburg biopic and has Nights in Rodanthe in theaters this weekend, though we might pass or wait for the rental on that one.

If I ever saw him in person I'd ask him a lot of questions about Palo Alto- start from the beginning and don't leave anything out! I know how he loves to tell about his life story over and over again. And don't forget to mention your cats spot light hogger!

My friend goes to brooklyn college(yea a little known cuny school in brooklyn) and he said he saw him hanging out on the stairs of the school and was talking to him. Not sure what he was doing there but my friend said it looked like he had just come out of a class.

Umm, yeah, did you guys not see his snl monologue? He was totally repping Columbia. He is enrolled both at NYU and Columbia. Totally hurt by the lack of love Popsugar. :( "other NYU students". Why not "other Columbia students" too?

He is actually doing a dual program with NYU and Columbia. He takes classes at Tisch for creative writing and something else. I go to NYU and have seen him at least twice waiting outside of tisch before class starts

He goes to columbia not NYU. Rode the subway with him the other day.

oh gosh if we was in any of my college classes I would fail because I would be spending the whole class time starting at his direction, drooling, and writing I heart James on my notebook haha!

My favorite celebrity ever. I love how he's back in school. Makes him even hotter. I just saw Nights in Rodanthe just for him As for attendance, I'm in college right now and if you have a huge lecture course then professors don't take attendance usually because there's just way too many people. If it's a discussion class, then it's about 25 people or so (depending on how big your school is) and they take attendance. There's certain rules each professor has as well for attendance...
