After high school, Chalamet (still aged 17) attended Columbia University for one year, majoring in cultural anthropology.[1][29] He later transferred to New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study to pursue his acting career more freely,[30] having found it difficult to assimilate to Columbia directly after filming Interstellar.[31] Upon leaving Columbia, Chalamet moved to Concourse, Bronx.[32][6]
