Barron Trump returns to New York City for first day of college at NYU

Barron Trump is attending the Stern Business School at New York University in downtown Manhattan.

Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son was spotted on campus wearing a Swiss Gear backpack and surrounded by Secret Service agents, according to news sources. The 18 year old stands at 6’9 and towered over his protective detail.

In an interview with DailyMail, Donald Trump said his son was accepted to “a lot” of colleges, “He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU.”

Barron is the only child of Donald Trump and wife Melania. He was grew up in their New York City home at Trump Tower and attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida last May.

The youngest Trump broke with tradition by attending NYU. His father studied and graduated at UPenn’s Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, graduating in May 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics, while all of his siblings are graduates of either University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University.

According to the interview, Trump’s son considered following in his footsteps at UPenn’s Wharton School, but ultimately chose NYU. “It’s a very high quality place. He liked it. He liked the school,” said Trump.

“He’s a very high aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond child-dom. He’s doing great.” Trump said in the interview.
