Former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, has embarked on his college journey this week as a freshman at New York University's Stern School of Business. The decision was confirmed by Trump in a video interview with the Daily Mail, putting an end to months of speculation surrounding Barron's educational path.
At 18 years old, Barron recently graduated from Oxbridge Academy, a prestigious private school near the family's residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Now, he is set to attend classes just a few miles away from his childhood home at Trump Tower in New York City.
While it remains unclear whether Barron will be living on campus or commuting from home, NYU has not provided details on his enrollment status. The university, located in downtown Manhattan near Washington Square Park, has heightened security measures in place for the fall semester following past protests on campus.
Trump shared that Barron considered the University of Pennsylvania, where three of his siblings, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Donald Jr., graduated from. Trump himself attended the university's Wharton business school but ultimately, Barron opted for NYU's Stern School of Business.
Reflecting on Barron's transition to college, Trump expressed pride in his son's academic abilities and growth, emphasizing that Barron has moved beyond childhood into a new phase of his life. With Barron's enrollment at one of the nation's top business schools, the Trump family continues to make strides in the realm of education.
