Suri doesn’t upload public TikToks, but she was spotted in a classmate’s TikTok video. Last week, a student at LaGuardia High School shared a video of the school’s “commitment day” celebration. In the video, the teen checks in with friends and classmates to see where they will attend school in the fall. Suri Cruise was spotted in the video wearing a Carnegie Mellon sweatshirt. She smiled for the camera while showing off her university choice. The student who uploaded the video has since set their account to private.

Suri did not reveal what she plans on studying during her brief TikTok appearance. The famous teen could study any number of subjects at the Tier 1 school. Carnegie Mellon is known for its research capabilities and world-renowned STEM program. The school also has a well-respected drama department and a competitive design program. Whatever she chooses to study, Suri will surely enjoy her time at the school, even if it takes her far from her New York City base.
