Celebrity kids who study in schools abroad
For some college-age kids or young adults, studying in a foreign country is the dream.
Aside from getting world-class education, immersing oneself in a totally new culture and learning a new language are great stepping stones to a successful career in the future. And to a degree, experience life away from comfort
These are just some of the reasons why many Filipino students, including children of celebrities, choose to study abroad.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Ruffa Gutierrez's eldest daughter Lorin Bektas recently flew to the United States to start her college life at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
