Emma Watson Wears Plaid For Her First Day Of Oxford (PHOTO)

Like Dakota Fanning, Emma Watson is going to attempt (for the second time), going to college like a normal person while being an international, paparazzi-attracting glamour girl.

Unlike Dakota (who hits the local gym with her giant, gleaming Chanel bag), the "Harry Potter" star is trying to blend in with her fellow Oxford students by dressing like a non-celeb.

Watson posted a picture of herself heading off to class on her website, in which she wears the kind of outfit we wore everyday when we were in college: jeans, boots, a plaid shirt and a fur-lined army jacket. And a headband. And a giant grin (that we did not wear everyday at college).

She posted her ever-so-collegiate pic with this description:

To Everyone who is starting a New School Year, (sorry those who have been at school for a while Oxford starts late)

Just to say have a great term and good luck with all your work.

You might not hear from me for a while because I will be really busy studying but I wanted to just say hi and bye : )

Hopefully Emma can alleviate the stress from all that studying with some retail therapy -- if none of her 19 favorite designer labels have outposts near campus, maybe there's at least one good plaid store nearby?

I gotta respect people like Emma Watson and others like her who could forego college and cash in on a movie career but opt instead to improve themselves with a degree. It sets a great example.

She could rock a burlap sack.

I wished that she was wearing something sexier and more feminine so that I can give her a rate of 10.

She's gorgeous even in a heavy overcoat. And Oxford? She has some serious brains, too.

She looks like what most college kids look like going to class - dressed for comfort. Nice to see a young actress enhancing her mind rather than shedding clothes and getting drunk in order to gain attention.

She's very pretty, and from what I hear from my friends at Brown a very nice person to be around, I felt so bad after those people faked those pictures of her, that was so not cool, hope she has an awesome semester!
