'iCarly' star Miranda Cosgrove: 'I'm going to college'

Miranda Cosgrove has revealed that she is planning to go to university this year.

The iCarly actress told Access Hollywood Live that her parents are encouraging her to pick a college on the west coast of the US.

"I got into NYU and USC and I've been trying to figure out which one to go to because I deferred for a year since I'm doing my show, so now it's really getting down to the point where I have to make the decision," she said.

"My dad loves USC because he went there and my parents don't really want me to go to New York, but I love New York."

Cosgrove also commented that she plans to fully immerse herself in the college lifestyle by living on-campus at whichever university she chooses.

The star said: "I want the dorm life… and I want a random roommate - that's half the fun, right?"

Cosgrove recently praised iCarly guest star Michelle Obama for her "great comic timing".

iCarly airs on Nickelodeon.
