Harry Potter star Emma Watson struggled with her first week of university life as her fellow students gawked at their celebrity classmate.

The 19-year-old British actress has begun her first year at the prestigious Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she is studying English literature. The paparazzi has followed the star to her campus - and her classmates were just as fascinated by Watson's presence.

She says, "The first week was a little bit tough - you know, I'm a new face in America, let alone the town where I'm studying, so it took a while for people to kind of get used to seeing me around."

When asked how she balances her classes with her career, Watson adds, "I don't really know to be honest! I think you make time for things that you care about. You seem to make extra hours in the day for things you're passionate about and I love everything that I do so it's all worth it!"
