Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has ruled out a college education - insisting she's had her own "learning experience" growing up in Hollywood.

The 20-year-old, who plays a college student in the U.S. sci-fi series, developed a desire to attend university when she was younger and admits landing the hit show helped change her mind.

Now Panettiere insists pretending to be a student is enough, because she's grown up quickly in Hollywood.

She says, "I always wanted to go to college (but) the show happened to start in a pretty pivotal period, when you have thoughts of going to college. It was just such a success and it is what I love to do. I would love to take some classes that I really enjoy, but I think college is a learning experience for yourself as a person and (it's about) being on your own for the first time."
