It’s hard to believe the little girl with the shaved head in season one of the iconic show set in the 1980s is old enough to go to uni, but it was revealed she’s studying online at Purdue University, which is in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Indiana is the state in which Stranger Things is set as all the kids reside in a fictional town called Hawkins.
The interview explained human services is a course in which “you learn about the system and how to help young people” a course she wants to do as she said she’s aware people are ‘hanging on her every word’.
She said: ‘Of course, people can look at it as pressure or scary, but I think that’s the most exciting part of my job.
‘People are all looking at me, ‘What are you going to say, Millie?’ I’m going to say, ‘Young girls deserve an education. Young people everywhere deserve equal rights. [You] deserve to love the people that you want to love. Be the people that you want to be and achieve the dreams that you want to achieve.’ That’s my message.’
Stranger Things Season 5
Although she’s a uni student the work doesn’t stop there for Millie, she also has her full-time acting job to work on Stanger Things season 5, which the creators have already announced they started writing.
Although all plot details of the final season will be kept tightly under wraps until closer to the time, the Duffer Brothers did tell The Hollywood Reporter the finale will be ‘massive’.
They said: ‘I don’t think the runtimes will be as extreme in season 5. We’re trying to return to the simplicity of the structure in season 1, with bigger scale and scope. Except for the finale, which I’m expecting will be pretty massive.’
