Miley Cyrus isn’t going to college

By , 12:23 PM on May 25, 2010, 88 Comments

If you dreamed of running into at MTSU, NYU, UCLA, USC or whatever college she may attend, you’re out of luck because she’s not going to any of them. In fact, she’s not going to college. Period. Exclamation point. Question mark. You might as well kill yourself now.

“My sister went to MTSU in Nashville, so I’d probably want to be there with all my friends, but I’m not gonna go to college right now,” Cyrus, 17, told Q100′s Bert Show Monday morning. “I am a firm believer that you can go back at any age you want, because my grandma went back to college at 62 years old.”

Miley Cyrus has billions of dollars and everyone loves her. Why the hell would she go to college? If I were as rich as Miley, I wouldn’t even learn to swim. I’d just hire some guy to carry me on his back and paddle me around in the ocean. Then when he starts complaining he’s tired and is about to drown, I’ll wave a $100 bill in his face and go, “Maybe THIS will change your mind.”

    MTSU isn’t even in Nashville. Its in Murfreesboro, which is 45 minutes south of Nashville.

  • Cathy

    What Miley does with her life is her business but I do love how the writer of this article thinks. Too funny!

  • Elizabeth Murray

    Bet she’ll be fine without it.

  • dsl

    Might be good for Miley to think about getting an education. She is a good performer but not that talented.
    It won’t last forever.

  • Dionne

    Dummy, money doesn’t last forever!

  • Laura

    Miley Cyrus is really cool and I respect her desicion mainly because I can’t change her mind.

  • Helen

    I believe that college does two things for people. 1st it gives people the education to persue their interests in gainfull employment. 2nd it gives people a well rounded view of the world while delveloping friendships into adulthood.
    Miley neither needs a job skill (she has a wonderful career singing) and she is able to travel the world and is exposed to many cultures and people. Why would anyone be suprized that she has no desire to go to college?

  • jm

    No responses,no one cares its her life! I am not surprised though. Life goes on.

  • Robert

    You have to have Miley’s money to afford some Uni’s now!

    Education? I am almost finished with my masters, 36, three kids, the very best out there right is 9/hour. Education? I’d say she’ll be fine.

  • Deb

    Loser.

  • TOBY IS DEAD

    Thats the outskirts of Nash, keep looking for more real errors though.

  • Julie

    She’s a smart girl. She’ll go to college, just not right now and why should she? She’s on top of the world right now. I say she should enjoy her youth and her money and when she gets bored, college will be there for her.

  • GOD

    SHE IS TOO STUPID TO GET INTO COLLEGE!
    SHE ALSO SUCKS AND I AM TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT HER…JUST GO AWAY NOW!

  • Nancy

    “… and everyone loves her. Why the hell would she go to college? If I were as rich as Miley, I wouldn’t even learn to swim …”

    And every time you opened your mouth, people would KNOW you never went to college. You’d have all the depth of a parking-lot puddle. The best reason to go to college, especially if you don’t need the money from the better job opportunities you’ll get, is to GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND IMPROVE YOURSELF. And if you don’t see that, it’s already clear that you desperately NEED to go to college.

    • Emily

      Dayum Nancy, you sure are full of yourself aren’t you? For what it is worth darling I have been around the educated and the so called uneducated. Found more than one educated fool and quite a few uneducated geniuses. From that I learned to respect people for what they actually know, not what some degree says they know. And you know what? I know I wouldn’t like you even a little bit in person. Cause I sure as hell don’t like your attitude here. What college did I attend to learn to say all that?

    • gleemr

      I don’t think that going to college guarantees that you will gain knowledge or improve yourself. Seriously, how many college graduates do you know these days who are about as smart as a parking-lot puddle? The standards are so low that anyone can go, and when you get out, you can rarely get a job in your field of study. I think her decision to stay out of college shows that she does have a bit of intellegence. If she decides to go someday, she will be able to afford it, and she will know why she’s going. Right now, there would be no point.

  • mamita

    Don’t you need a high school education before acceptance into undergraduate studies? Or could it be because she’s stupid?

  • April

    I can understand Miley for making this decision. She has a great career now and she is making the most of her fame while she is in high demand.
    In the article she was quoted as follows : “My sister went to MTSU in Nashville, so I’d probably want to be there with all my friends, but I’m not gonna go to college right now, I am a firm believer that you can go back at any age you want, because my grandma went back to college at 62 years old.”
    So college may still be in her future, give her a break.

  • Chris

    She isn’t going to college because she’s an idiot. Idiots do not do well in college, or University. Her statement, if quoted accurately, proves it. Her sister went to MTSU, and ‘all her friends’ are going, but she doesn’t know where it is? I guess even her family doesn’t matter to her. Spoiled little brat. Disney should have fired her a couple of years ago. Without the audience, she won’t have all that money. The sole reason for her success at present is all those underage girls who think anything dangled in front of them is ‘cool’ and interesting. As soon as Disney pulls another trailer park wannabe just like her into the spotlight and gives her a series, no one will remember Miley Cyrus. Better learn to swim, Miley. In a few months, no one will carry you. You’re growing older. All Disney stars fall off the face of the earth, media-wise, when they reach 18. You’re no better.

    • John

      Chris…love the hate, bro. Pour it on. You tell Miley how it is.

  • Kendall

    Emily and Gleemr it’s obvious that neither of you went to college or you wouldn’t be so offended by the idea that going to college gives you an edge. Majoring in something that you can use is important but someone with a truly educated mind will step out of the box and market themselves despite what their degree is in.

  • lauren

    I am definitely an advocate for education. However, NOTHING can replace first-hand experiences…and she has it all the time! With all the doors and opportunities available to her, without a doubt, sitting in the classroom would probably hold her back. I would do the same thing.

  • Sinjin

    Article writer: No, NOT everyone loves her. She’s an idiot. I agree with Nancy.

  • reba

    College is a hoax, I’ve got dozens of friends $200,000 in debt from attending private colleges and they can’t find a job. She’s got a job and has enough to get her through her life.

    • Cornelia

      College is not a “hoax”, Reba. Going to a 200K private college when you cant afford it is absurd. Most likely those friends of yours lived off of student loans rather than working while in school. College is a great tool if you use it correctly.

  • arnie

    she has to learn how to spell her name to fill out all the forms first. judging by her lineage, that could take years.

    she also has to learn to live without a man (sad at her tender age) and spend some time alone.

    what were her parents thinking!

    money is NOT everything

  • Alex

    When you have millions of course your not going to join the rest of us cash straped broke college students…I say Celebrity Apprentice 16 or Dancing With The Stars season 20 that or Celebrity Rehab or the Surreal Life.

  • AnneMarie

    Not going two college is the smartest thing a person like her could do, especially in an economy like this. And what would she even study in college? Any career that she would try to pursue by going to college would be a step down from where she’s at right now. She makes more money then everybody. She’s lucky she is who she is. I bet a lot of girls, whether they admit it or not, would rather be in her shoes then become a doctor or a layer.

  • Sheila

    I would not have gone to college either if i had her money.

  • SEXY MAN

    Miley Cyrus needs to learn how to bathe before she goes to college. Maybe she will get pregnant and leave us all alone. She can’t sing or write her music. She is egotistical and thinks shes grown. I’ll give her a couple years to fall down from her high throne.

  • Shery

    SOME ROLE MODLE YOU TURNED OUT TO BE HOPE DISNEY CUTS AWAY FROM YOU!!!!!!

  • rmhopper3

    Who cares …

  • A Woman

    College is not about shaking you ass and getting by on lack of talent. You actually have to work you ass off so it’s no surprise she won’t be going.

    @ AnnMarie, many young girls still wish to be lawyers and doctors just with higher salaries. Trust if they could be smart and rich I don’t think any of them would want to be in her shoes. The problem is money is fueled in the wrong areas giving our young girls a false sense of reality. The track record of child actors and entertainers says enough.

  • A Woman

    Every time you hear someone speak negatively about college graduates and how uneducated and unintelligent they really are you can just guess how many rejection letters they got. College is a personal choice, don’t hate on those who wanted more out of life simply because you were satisfied with your high school diploma.

  • Leslie

    their is notthing wrong wiith her decision..its her life she can do whatever she wants…she is not an idiot she making her own decisions for once in her life. she turning 18 in novemeber i belive and now she can finally make her own decisions without her parents having to babysit her.

  • mattiedog27

    her movie bombed, tv show cancelled and singers are a dime a dozen

  • sue

    She is making millions from residuals without doing anything !I read she will be a billionaire by the time she is 21.She can do whatever she wants to do.She can have online classes if she wanted to stay away from people bothering her.

  • pedro

    ima stick a corncob up her @#%

  • tonya

    For those of you who say she is an idiot, stupid, and untalented all I say is the following. You try putting together an album, spending several hours a day on set for a movie/ tv show/ music video, on top of making interview apperances, approving designs for sale at national stores, and try to have relationships with family, friends, and significant others.
    For MIley to have the success she has had to present, she has to a level of intelligence. Her decision not to attend college now, isn’t a bad decision at all. College isn’t for everyone. What would she go for? One of the popular degrees being pursued today, business, marketing? I think she has those down to a “t”. If she were to go to college now knowing it isn’t the right thing for her, she would only fail at this point.
    She has made an excellent educated choice for herself.

  • Plop

    College in 2010 is a worthless pursuit unless you plan on being a doctor, accountant, nurse, etc. Don’t become lawyers either, 42,000 of those poor suckers graduate every year to no jobs in the legal industry.

    If I was i Miley’s shoes I would laugh out loud at the notion of going to college. All those people who tell you about the wonderful “experiences” they apid too much for are trying to justify all the money they wasted. A lot of very successful people in our society never went to college or flunked out.

  • Carlos

    Miley.. I am rich.. I know better than you as I have lots of money and count it all anyway, cause too much knowledge is harmful to your brain and will stop you from discovery and make-believe as a artist.. ya know.. what you need to know, you know when you are sex.. I mean six. I need to find me a man and settle down and do my singing and make videos, clothes and all kinds of stuff for others so we are all happy.

  • Bria

    she’s tan as shit
