Where Is Barron Trump? Absence at Orientation Programs Raises Questions About His New York University Plans

Former President Donald Trump recently announced that his son, Barron Trump, would attend university in New York, marking a departure from the family’s traditional Ivy League path. Despite the high-profile announcement, Barron, 18, has yet to be seen at any of the universities in New York where freshmen orientations are underway.

Trump mentioned that his son would be attending a “very good” school, but no further details have been disclosed. The absence of Barron and his security team has fueled speculation. Top New York universities such as Columbia, Cornell, and New York University (NYU) have not confirmed his enrollment.

Reports had suggested that Barron’s preferred school might be NYU, located just a few miles from Trump Tower. However, recent checks reveal no presence of Barron in student directories at Cornell, Columbia, or NYU.

In a recent interview, Trump cited unrest on college campuses as a factor influencing Barron’s decision. “Colleges six months ago were rioting,” Trump said. “You might want to go to a different kind of college where there’s less of that.”

Despite these uncertainties, Trump has praised Barron’s academic achievements and his popularity among colleges. Trump frequently highlighted Barron’s academic prowess and his potential to attend prestigious institutions.

While the former president graduated from Wharton, his children’s educational choices have varied, with Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Tiffany attending the University of Pennsylvania and Eric graduating from Georgetown. Melania Trump attended the University of Ljubljana before leaving to pursue a modeling career in Europe.

As the academic year progresses, the mystery surrounding Barron’s university plans remains unresolved, with many awaiting official confirmation of his school choice.
