Tom Cruise’s daughter, Suri Cruise, has chosen Carnegie Mellon University over UCLA and the Fashion Institute.
At 18, Suri is stepping into adulthood and higher education in Pittsburgh, celebrated by sporting the university’s sweatshirt in a TikTok video.
Suri’s interest in fashion has led her to Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design, renowned as one of the oldest and most prestigious design schools in the U.S. Suri is actively networking with other incoming freshmen as she prepares to start college. While her mother, Katie Holmes, supports her, Suri is determined to forge her path without her father’s involvement.
An insider spoke to DailyMail.com about Suri, describing her as “smart” and “maturing into a very intelligent young woman.” They added that she has a tight-knit circle of friends and is well aware of her family background.
Suri has not been in contact with her father, Tom Cruise, since her parents’ divorce in 2013. The split was influenced by Holmes’s decision to leave Scientology, a movement Cruise is deeply committed to. The Church of Scientology reportedly restricts contact with ex-members, which affects Cruise’s relationship with his daughter.
Despite his physical absence, Cruise financially supports Suri’s education and other needs, including medical and extracurricular expenses. This arrangement suits all parties involved and balances their familial dynamics.
