Amanda Bynes to study psychology at New York University

Los Angeles - Amanda Bynes is planning to study psychology.

The troubled actress - who was reportedly thrown out of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California for turning up to classes high and paying fellow students to do her homework - claims to be transferring to a New York educational establishment to embark on a new course.

She tweeted: "I'm transferring to NYU or Columbia from FIDM to study psychology, so you'll see me in New York if you live here but I HATE stalkers!(sic)"

The 28-year-old star, who was arrested last week for driving under the influence (DUI), recently claimed to have got engaged to her 19-year-old boyfriend Caleb.

She said: "I am very needy for friendship and I hate men. I want to fuck them, but I can now say I'm engaged, I want to be married and I want to be away from people."

Amanda, who was placed under psychiatric hold last year after a series of bizarre incidents, hopes she and her fiancé, who lives in Costa Mesa, California, will have lots of baby boys after they exchange their vows.

She said: "I want boys, for sure. However many I can pop out. I don't want a gorgeous girl around. Then I [would] feel way jealous. Ew."

Amanda is believed to have taken a turn for the worse after she moved out of her parents Rick and Lynn Bynes' home in Thousands Oaks, California, as soon as her conservatorship ended earlier this month.

She has also allegedly stopped taking her anti-psychotic medication for Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
