“In fact, if you look up my graduating photo you’ll see,” Dylan added. “We just decided, you know, there’s no reason not to. No one’s going to notice.”

The brothers shared photos in their violet-colored robes on the big day on social media, with Cole joking, “We just graduated! Dylan bit me right after the last pic. #NYU.”

Neither one of the Disney stars ended up attending NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Cole studied archaeology while Dylan majored in video game design. 

“The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn’t want to study acting,” Dylan said. “It was something we had done and something that we don’t really need to train all that much more for.”
