In a surprising turn of events, Suri Cruise, the daughter of Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is starting her college journey at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite being estranged from her father for over a decade, it appears that Tom is financially supporting Suri's education, as she prepares to embrace the full college experience.

The last time Suri and Tom were seen together publicly was back in April 2013, leading many to wonder about the state of their relationship. Adding fuel to the speculation, Suri has now changed her last name from Cruise to Noelle, taking her mother's middle name as her new surname. This move hints at a strained relationship between father and daughter.

According to reports from DailyMail.com, Suri is eagerly looking forward to her college experience and will be sharing a dorm room with another female student in an all-female dorm hall. An insider revealed that Suri wants to immerse herself in campus life and genuinely embrace this new chapter. Despite coming from a luxurious high-rise apartment in New York City, Suri will be living in a modest dorm room, believed to be located in Scobell House, which accommodates a maximum of 88 students.

Carnegie Mellon University is renowned for its academic programs and extensive campus amenities. Suri will have access to a state-of-the-art wellness center, several campus restaurants offering a variety of delicious options like cappuccinos, croissants, pasta, and smoothies. The dorm complex also includes common spaces like TV lounges, study lounges, recreational areas, laundry facilities, and a community kitchen, where Suri can test her culinary skills.

While Suri embraces her college life, her mother, Katie Holmes, has hinted that she might pursue acting and dance studies at Carnegie Mellon. In an interview, Holmes mentioned that Suri wants to enter the entertainment industry after college, following in the footsteps of both her parents, who have been in showbiz since their early 20s. Suri's interest in fashion or acting has found support in her high school performances, including a starring role in "The Addams Family" production.

As Suri settles into campus life, her schedule includes upcoming breaks, such as Labor Day on September 2, where she will have a day off, and Family Weekend on September 27 and 28, allowing Katie to visit her. Unfortunately, Suri's estranged father, Tom, will not be present during this time.

As Suri Cruise embarks on this new chapter of her life at Carnegie Mellon University, it remains to be seen how her relationship with her father will evolve. Nevertheless, she seems determined to make the most of her college experience, embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Only time will tell what the future holds for this young, talented star in the making.
