Jessica Biel has admitted that she regrets putting her movie ambitions before her education.

The actress studied at Tufts University in Massachusetts for over a year, but dropped out of her courses after being offered the part of Erin in the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Biel has now revealed that she considers the decision to be a mistake because she missed out on life-changing experiences with her classmates.

Speaking to Allure magazine, she explained: "I wish I would have had that time that my girlfriends all had. I wish I would have lived in that crappy, nasty brownstone that they all lived in. If I had to do it again, I would have stuck around and finished it out."

The star recently claimed that she is unsure over whether to marry boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
