That's right, Timothée Chalamet is among another list of celebs (beyond the famous alumni of his high school) who attended Columbia University but didn't complete their studies. Other famous non-graduating alumni of this Ivy League school include Vanessa Carlton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Alicia Keys, and even Alexander Hamilton.
In 2017, Chalamet told his "Interstellar" co-star, Matthew McConaughey in an Interview spread that he tried to give Columbia a go during the 2013-2014 academic year, but the aspiring actor soon realized it wasn't where he needed to be. "I did a year at Columbia, and I just kind of floundered. Maybe it wasn't the right place for me," Chalamet told McConaughey. "Columbia takes a wholehearted academic commitment that I think I have in me, but it was just not where my mind was at the time." He went on to explain, "I'd just left working a month and a half in Canada with my favorite director and you, one of my favorite actors, and had to go back into a structured environment. It was just hard."
Eventually, Chalamet enrolled at New York University's Gallatin program between 2015 and 2016. According to the school's website, this individualized study program is more flexible for students juggling work and classes, but Chalamet still ended up dropping out before graduating to pursue his acting dreams full-time.
