In her YouTube video, Casey Garcia walks the halls of the college, attends classes, eats in the canteen, and even greets the college principal.
The only time she got noticed was because she was criticized for having her phone in her hand.

“I’ve been there all day, face to face with the teachers. Do I look like a college girl? No,” she says in one of her videos.

Police eventually arrested Casey Garcia for breaking into the school grounds. She is also suspected of criminal intrusion and falsification of documents. She was taken into custody on bail of $ 7,908 (6,491 euros).
