She’s gone from bongs to books.
Since enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in January, Amanda Bynes has proved herself quite the student.
“She’s a great student who always participated and really cared about her classes,” a source tells E! News. “She really fit in and loves her school.” The source adds if the “Hairspray” actress was offered an acting job, “she may not take it because she’s so focused on school.”
While at the Los Angeles-based college — which boasts Lauren Conrad and Monique Lhuillier as alumnae — Bynes, 27, has expressed her academic excitement via Twitter, posting updates and sharing sketches.
On March 1, she wrote, “Hi everyone! I’m busy studying at @FIDM but I want to say I love you to my fans! Xoxo Amanda.”
In December, Bynes returned to her parents’ California home after completing a court-ordered rehab program, following a public meltdown that included throwing a bong from the 36th-floor window of her West Side apartment.
