It wasn’t clear what Suri would be studying at college, but reports suggest she might be interested in a fashion or acting and dance degree.

Suri’s classes at the private university started on August 26, according to the school’s website.
She is expected to share her dorm room with another female student. An insider claimed, “Suri wants the full college experience, so she is giving the dorm rooms a try and she will have a roommate.”
The source also revealed that the teenager is “excited for a new chapter in her life.” The celebrity child will have to get comfortable living in a normal dorm room compared to her mother’s three-bedroom apartment.
In 2022, a former Carnegie Mellon student shared a tour of the freshman dorms, with the college’s biggest dorm being Donner House. The four-level building hosts first-year students, and it’s where 240 new students moved in.
The house is more traditional, with four floors; the first one has a huge community lounge.
The college’s website states, “Despite our size, we boast a very tight-knit and caring community with a lot of spirit.” Donner House is located in the Margaret Morrison Avenue Neighborhood.

Some of the amenities at the complex include a television lounge, a recreational area, a study lounge, a kitchen, and laundry facilities.

While Donner House doesn’t have air conditioning, Scobell House does. Scobell is in the WHeSco community, which includes the Henderson and Welch Houses. The college’s website says WHeSco is close “to many academic buildings and dining options in Resnik.”
