Barron Trump, now a sophomore at Stern Business School at New York University, has kept a relatively low profile since starting college. While the 19-year-old spent the summer focusing on future business ventures, he was reportedly absent when fall classes began, sparking curiosity about his whereabouts.
Sources indicate that Barron hasn’t skipped school; rather, he is studying at a different NYU campus. The university has multiple locations worldwide, including Brooklyn, Abu Dhabi, London, Paris, Shanghai, and learning centers in Los Angeles and Washington, DC. For security reasons, the exact campus Barron attends has not been disclosed.
Despite being the youngest son of former President Donald Trump and heir to significant wealth, Barron reportedly prefers to blend in with other students. He carries an inexpensive $88 black backpack, which helps him appear approachable and maintain a low profile. TikTok users and reports suggest this choice reflects both thriftiness and his desire to live a relatively ordinary college life.
Barron prioritizes his studies, family, and personal business interests over leisure or dating, according to People Magazine sources. Although little is known about his academic performance, Barron continues to develop his career and follow in his father’s footsteps in private. His decision to study off the main campus allows him to focus on education while minimizing public attention. While speculation about his personal life and future plans remains, Barron Trump appears determined to balance privacy, studies, and preparation for his future, whether in business or public life.
