The highly anticipated college debut of Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, was finally revealed as he was seen arriving for the start of classes at New York University on Wednesday. It seems that the 18-year-old has chosen to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a business degree at NYU's prestigious Stern School of Business.
Sporting a white collared shirt, dark pants, and Adidas sneakers, Barron was accompanied by a team of Secret Service agents as he made his way to class. Photos obtained by the New York Post captured the young Trump looking confident and focused, with a black Swiss Gear backpack slung over his shoulder. Sources say he even stopped at the dean's office before heading to his first class.
Barron's graduation from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, in May was a proud moment for his parents. However, the public was left wondering where he would continue his education. It was finally revealed by his father that he had been accepted to multiple colleges, but ultimately chose Stern. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU," Trump told the Daily Mail.
The decision to attend NYU over his father's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, may come as a surprise to some. However, Trump explained that Barron had considered Wharton but ultimately preferred Stern. "We went for Stern," Trump said. "It's a very high-quality place. He liked it. We liked NYU. I've known NYU for a long time, but it's one of the highest-rated..."
Stern is known as one of the top business schools in the country, alongside Wharton, where Trump's two eldest children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, also attended. It seems that Barron was considering both NYU and Wharton before ultimately making his decision.
Barron's time at Oxbridge Academy was kept relatively private, but it is known that he graduated from the prestigious private school close to the Trump family's Florida home at Mar-a-Lago. However, it was speculated that he would choose a college in New York City, where the Trumps also have a residence at Trump Tower.
The confirmation of Barron's enrollment at NYU came a couple of weeks ago when his father told the New York Post that he would be attending a campus in the Big Apple. This decision seemed to rule out Columbia University, as Trump hinted that recent pro-Palestinian protests on campus may have played a role in the decision.
Former First Lady Melania Trump also hinted at the family's decision in a recent social media post. Sharing a photo of the New York City skyline, she wrote, "New York City captivated my heart the moment I arrived, 28 years ago today. This electrifying town isn't just my home; it's a colorful canvas where dreams come alive. New York's iconic skyline and vibrant culture inspire me every day." It seems that she, too, is excited about her son's new journey in the city where she has made her own dreams come true.
While Barron may have a team of Secret Service agents keeping a watchful eye over him, it is reported that his mother will also continue to be a strong presence in his life during his college years. New York City has captured the hearts of the Trump family, and now it will be the backdrop for Barron's next chapter.
