Where Is Barron Trump Going to College? Everything Donald Has Said

2024-07-11 12:45:02

Former President Donald Trump gave an update about his 18-year-old son Barron Trump‘s plans for college during a campaign rally in Florida on Tuesday.

Barron’s plans for college have drawn speculation from his supporters, as the family remains quiet about where he will attend school in the fall. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, in May. As the youngest child of the former president, Barron has typically kept a lower profile than his parents or siblings in the media.

Trump introduced Barron during his campaign rally near Miami on Tuesday, noting that it was the first political rally his son had ever participated in while providing the latest update about his post-graduation plans.

“A very young man who’s now going to college,” Trump said. “Got into every college he wanted to and he made his choice. And he’s a very good guy, I’ll tell you…He’s a very special guy, Barron Trump. This is the first time he’s ever done this.”

He did not name which college Barron plans to attend.

Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for comment via email.

Trump previously offered insight about where his son could attend college during an interview with Megyn Kelly in September 2023, saying that Barron was “thinking about” attending The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, his alma mater. He added that Barron is a “great student” and athlete.

Barron’s half-siblings Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump Jr. also attended the University of Pennsylvania.

Other reports have suggested that Barron was looking at other schools.

In April, the Daily Beast reported, based on anonymous sources, that Barron was considering attending New York University in Manhattan. The report has not been confirmed by either the Trump family or the college.

Trump said in an interview with Fox NewsFox & Friends Weekend in June that Barron’s college plans were affected by pro-Palestinian protests held at universities across the United States this spring.

“Six months ago you look at a college, and you sort of want a certain college,” Trump said. “And then you see all of these colleges are rioting, and maybe you want to go to a different kind of a college. Because there’s plenty of colleges that we also like that are different, and they don’t riot.”

The online sportsbook Bovada released a set of odds in September about where Barron may attend college and play basketball, according to a report from the Staten Island Advance. Some have speculated that, due to his height, he could potentially play basketball, though it is unknown whether he actually has any interest in doing so.

St. John’s University and the University of Miami were the leading options among those who bet on the odds, the report said.
