Amanda Bynes returns to fashion school - report

Actress Amanda Bynes has re-enrolled at a fashion design school in California after she was kicked out last year (14), according to a report.

The Hairspray star joined the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Orange County in 2013, but she was reportedly expelled last year for cutting classes.

She was hospitalised and detained on an involuntary psychiatric hold in October, 2014 due to her erratic behaviour, just weeks after an arrest for driving under the influence of drugs. She remained in hospital for almost three weeks, and her parents were granted control of her finances.

Amanda left the public eye and quit her social media accounts, but returned earlier this year (15) appearing happy and healthy.

She previously said on Twitter.com that she had considered transferring to other universities last year (14), but the former child actress is now giving FIDM another go.

She began taking sketch classes for a fashion design course last week (ends11Oct15), according to TMZ.com, and reportedly has a security guard with her on campus.

Amanda was not prosecuted for the DUI arrest.
