Sophia got homeschooled since class one, but she visited about a year a private school at the age of 15, to get in contact with some peers to process her mobbing experience. But she felt she doesn't fit in and noone really would understand her. She felt lonely and it would made it acually worse. She thinks, because she got pro at such young age and was already travelling abroad so many times, she got much faster mature than her class mates, who didn't really understand her problems. She got her high school diploma at the age of 16 and went first to a community college for the next two years, because she was only 16 when she graduated and not ready to live by herself in New York yet, before she has finally transferred to a four-years university, when is was 18. She stated she will majoring in psychology at the New York University (NYU).<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/dancemoms/comments/a8y1h3/sophia_lucia_is_going_to_college_and_majors_in/ Sophia Lucia`s interview about her education]</ref> Ahhh... self-diagnostics.

On March 2023, she said she went actually to the University of Arizona at the age of 18. She was studing psychology. Her goal was to become a sports pychologist and work with child prodigies, like she herself was, and try to avoid that they have to go through the same crap. The graduated as Bachelor with 20. She wanted go to on Master, but she wanted to dance and dropped it. <ref>[https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QKaapgxGmIdA7A3xnFkCM The Sitch - College Culture]</ref> She studied psychology, but we don't know if a bachelor degree is enough | Sophia got homeschooled since class one, but she visited about a year a private school at the age of 15, to get in contact with some peers to process her mobbing experience.

Especially the penetrant attempts of some people trying out some drugs made her really pissed. She prefers still today being at home after working and is going out mostly with her boyfriend. She said beyond him, she considers just two girls as her true friends, the rest are more or less down to a degree of being acquaintances. <ref>[https://open.spotify.com/episode/0QKaapgxGmIdA7A3xnFkCM The Sitch Podcast - College Culture]</ref><ref>[https://open.spotify.com/episode/6mmIwoOAjujr5eG5XRigz0 The Sitch Podcast - Quality Friendships]</ref> | ||
