It looks like Millie Bobby Brown is staying ever grateful, ever true to her “Stranger Things” character’s Indiana ties.

The 18-year-old actress, who plays telekinetic phenom Eleven, revealed during an interview with Allure magazine that she was taking courses at Purdue Global in human services.

“You learn about the system and how to help young people,” Brown told Allure.

A representative for Purdue University, which is based in West Lafayette, confirmed Brown enrolled at Purdue Global in March of 2022 and is “working toward a Bachelor of Science in Human Services, in youth/family services and administration.”

Purdue Global was created in 2018 when Purdue University acquired online school Kaplan University

“Stranger Things”, which is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, has referenced Purdue before.

In the premiere episode of season three, former golden boy Steve Harrington (played by Joe Keery) chats up a female customer at Scoops Ahoy who’s wearing a Purdue shirt.
