'Beauty And The Beast' Star Emma Watson No Hollywood Star In Brown University? Students Share Experiences With Actress

"Beauty and the Beast" actress Emma Watson has always been very grounded and never allowed herself to be blinded by the trappings of fame, even if she practically grew up in showbiz. And former students of Brown University just confirmed that perception.

A blog post by Suzannah Weiss, who herself had some experiences with Emma Watson, collected anecdotes from students of Brown University sharing their meeting with the "Beauty and the Beast" star.

One student from the Class of 2010 said, "She came to a Swing Club dance lesson once! She was super sweet and laughed at herself when she messed up and was totally willing to dance with all of us during the free dance after the lesson."

Marie, a member of Class of 2012, recounted, "One time I was waiting in line to order a sandwich at the farmer's market on Wriston. Once I mostly decided I wanted to order a ham sandwich, someone came up behind me, asking if I was in line. As I started to say no, I turned and saw that it was Emma. She ordered the last ham sandwich, and I was okay with that."

"She came in right before it started and sat right next to me," another student, a member of Class of 2012, added. "I remember she participated a lot, but I had trouble understanding her accent. Either that, or I was so excited to hear her talk in real life I just couldn't process what she was saying. Even the professor was enamored with her, which was funny because he was smoking hottt and had a reputation in the history department for being crazy sexy."

Emma Watson has proven that she's beautiful inside out, with her work on advancing gender equality through her HeForShe campaign. She was also named TIME's 100 Most Influential Persons for 2015.

Emma Watson will next be seen playing the role of "Beauty and the Beast."
