The University of Bridgeport will be welcoming many students for the Class of 2015 for the fall 2011 semester, but one student in particular will definitely stand out from the rest.



Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and rocker Courtney Love has decided to attend UB next fall. Originally, she had her eyes set on going to school in New York City but decided to come to Connecticut instead.

Traveling from California, all the way to the east coast, Cobain wants to experience college on her own. She believes that it would be an exciting opportunity to become not only independent, but also have new experiences.

"When I was searching for a great school to go to, I was torn between the University of Bridgeport and Ithaca College," Cobain said. "Even though I don't like big schools, I felt that Ithaca was a tad bit too small for me and it wasn't as diverse as the University of Bridgeport."

Freshman Jenny-Ann Sanchez is looking forward to having an individual such as Cobain at the university.

"I think having someone like Frances here would be so good for the school's rep," Sanchez said. "Come on, she's the daughter of a music legend!"

However, Junior Jay-T Prince feels that having Cobain, or any famous person enrolled at the university, is not a big deal.

"The only reason why everyone is so excited, is because they only hear the name 'Cobain'," Prince said. "Kurt Cobain was an awesome musician, but Frances Bean was just a baby when he passed away - so it's not like she'll have much to say about him. She's a regular person just like the rest of the incoming freshman students."

Cobain is interested in studying Journalism and said that she previously interned for Rolling Stone Magazine from June to August of 2009. She also stated that she is hoping to being treated like an average student at UB and is looking forward to learning new things.
