Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of President-elect Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has transitioned smoothly into college life at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where he began studying in September. According to a report from People, Barron has quickly become popular on campus, particularly among female students. A source noted that he’s a “ladies’ man” and described him as “tall and handsome,” with even liberal classmates acknowledging his charm.
College Choice and Family Support
Barron, who graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Florida in May, chose to study business at Stern, opting to remain in New York and live at home. Donald Trump confirmed Barron’s college decision, mentioning that he was “accepted to a lot of colleges,” while Melania shared that the choice was entirely Barron’s. She emphasized in a Fox News interview that she raised him as “his own person” and respects his independence.
Role in the 2024 Election
While Barron declined an invitation to serve as a Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention due to prior commitments, Melania revealed that he played a significant role in his father’s campaign behind the scenes. She described him as “very vocal,” noting that he had a clear understanding of key individuals his father needed to engage with during the election.
Public Appearance with Donald Trump
Barron made a rare public appearance alongside his father during a campaign rally in the final stretch of the election season. While he has largely avoided the spotlight, this gesture demonstrated his support for his father’s political ambitions.
As Barron begins this exciting chapter at NYU, he is balancing his academic pursuits, personal growth, and the responsibilities that come with being part of a high-profile family.
