Reports from journalists and fellow students describe Barron Trump's behavior in college as largely reserved and private, with a low profile on campus despite intense media scrutiny
.
Academic and social life
Low campus profile: Sources indicate that Barron Trump, a student at New York University's Stern School of Business, largely keeps to himself. A former head of the NYU College Republicans described him as an "oddity on campus" who "goes to class, he goes home," suggesting he does not socialize much with the broader student body. His mother, Melania Trump, has said it is not possible for him to be a "normal student".
"Ladies' man": Despite his reserved campus presence, other reports have described him as popular with female students, with one source calling him a "ladies' man". One student told Vanity Fair that "he was the thing, the guy".
Keeping his distance: His interactions with students appear limited, partly due to his Secret Service detail. One student said that after asking Barron to play basketball, he felt that the first son "wasn't really allowed to do stuff".
Staying off campus: During his freshman year in 2024, Barron resided off-campus at Trump Tower, commuting to classes via motorcade. He did not participate in traditional campus residential life.
Sophomore year changes
Transfer to D.C. campus: For the fall 2025 semester, Barron reportedly transferred to New York University's Washington, D.C., campus. He is living in the White House while completing his courses there.
D.C. campus focus: The NYU D.C. program emphasizes politics, public policy, and journalism, combining coursework with internships. This shift has led to speculation that he may be focusing on political or policy-related studies.
Continued privacy: His relocation to the D.C. campus and the White House has led to further privacy, with some NYU students saying they have not seen him on campus for months.
Business and political interests
Entrepreneurial interests: Sources told People that Barron is "interested in business in general, developing properties, making money and being involved in successful projects," and is described as "quite entrepreneurial".
Political involvement: He reportedly provided campaign advice to his father, particularly regarding reaching younger voters through online platforms and podcasts. After his father's reelection, he co-founded and then dissolved a real estate company to avoid media attention.

From USA Today:
President Donald Trump's youngest son is reportedly not returning to New York University's New York campus for his sophomore year of college as expected.
Barron Trump, 19, attended NYU Stern School of Business in Manhattan for his freshman year. Although fall semester classes started Sept. 2, Barron has not yet been spotted in New York.
People and the New York Post have reported that is because he is headed to a different NYU campus for his second year. People, citing NYU security guards, reported Barron did not appear back at the main campus this fall. The New York Post reported he is taking classes at NYU's Washington, D.C. campus and residing in the White House in the meantime.
The first lady's office declined to comment."
