In 2017, Olivia Dunne accepted a full athletic scholarship from Louisiana State University (LSU). “I am very excited to announce I have verbally committed to LSU on a full athletic scholarship! I can’t wait to join such an amazing team,” she announced on Instagram. Upon joining LSU in 2020, Dunne’s fame skyrocketed, thanks to her large social media following and, of course, her athletic skills.
While she might have wished to be a regular college student, Dunne’s life at LSU was far from normal, given her popularity. Soon enough, keeping Dunne safe became a top priority. After some deliberation, the star athlete decided to stop attending physical classes. “There were some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible. I don’t want people to know my daily schedule and where I am,” she explained in a July 2023 interview with Elle.
In 2021, the star gymnast opened up about life as an LSU student, noting that she was learning to balance school and gymnastics. “First, I wake up and go to class, where I’m usually with my teammates. I study [at the communications center] and get schoolwork done,” she shared with The New York Post.
