It's official: JoJo is a husky. The Foxborough-bred pop star, best known for her hits "Leave (Get Out)" and "Too Little Too Late," has reported on her MySpace page that she's chosen to attend Northeastern University this fall.
"In the past week I've taken tours and met with students and professors of other Boston based schools, and now that the time to commit has come, I'm happy with the idea of being a student at Northeastern," she wrote, adding, "My long term goal is to gain a doctorate.... but I gotta take it ONE step at a time!!"
JoJo -- whose real name is Joanna Levesque -- says she'll major in cultural anthropology.
Fans will be happy to hear that the singer has promised that her studies won't stop the music. She's been trying to release another album, but has been held up by record label legal issues, according to her MySpace page. She says she plans to keep recording as she learns.
"Huskies" is plural. When you have only one of them, it's "husky."
Dear Meredith,
When was the last time Jojo was relevant? No one cares. There must be SOMETHING else you could waste your time writing about.

Ha, seems like everyone goes to Northeastern.
Did she spend all her millions already that she needs to find herself a degree? I'd say it's a little greedy to take up a space that could have gone to a student who actually needs it but then again, how many kids are breaking down the doors for cultural anthropology. LOL
WOW what news! JoJo gets into a mediocre college.
Do people really thing NU is a good school?
Another rich kid at NU wow I'm shocked
What? I've never heard of her.
hi my name surkew from iraq i am a student i love u so much i will be crazy for u
You haven't heard of her?! Where have you been?! All you need to know is that she has a great voice. Oh and she's rich because she worked hard for her money and didn't sell out like some artists these days ight!
...LAHHHS JOJO!!!!! WE'RE SOO EXCITED FOR HER TO BE ADDED TO THE HUSKY COMMUNITY =] =] =] LOVE YOU JOJO
She will be mine...oh yes...she will be mine...
WOO. Jojo at Northeastern? That rocks.
Another rich kid at NU? Northeastern's not exactly a school for rich kids, its known for giving good scholarships and financial aid. I know this because I'll be attending NEU next year for 1/2 the price of most other private universities.
Go Huskies!
jealous that she didnt go to BC!
Go for it i say!!!:p Besta luck to her! SHE CAN DO IT... Mark, u aint heard of her? she has an incredible voice and im in Wales, a completely diff country to her and i heard of her! pfft :P

good for her some times you need to have something to fall back on. wish her all luck in the world with her uni and singing
"Another rich kid at NU? Northeastern's not exactly a school for rich kids, its known for giving good scholarships and financial aid. I know this because I'll be attending NEU next year for 1/2 the price of most other private universities."
WTF is this person talking about northeastern has one of the worst financial aid in the country.
@1 what your point? @2, you stop reading because one post is irrelevant to you? @3 What, just because she had a couple albums with average success, she is supposed to sit back in ignorance the rest of her life, and is not allowed to improve or educate herself? I doubt the school is over capacity and some "more deserving" student got rejected to make room for her.
Financial aid is irrelevant because she probably had to pay her own way, considering that she probably does not have a financial need. And if she earned merit based scholarships, so be it, she earned them. BTW, she is a talented singer, I think Jordan Sparks total ripped off her vocal style in 'one step at a time.'
