Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, is currently a sophomore at NYU’s Stern School of Business. Known for keeping a low profile, Barron prefers to live quietly despite his high-profile family background. He aims to be seen as an ordinary college student and avoids unnecessary attention.
A viral TikTok video highlighted Barron’s choice to carry a modest $88 black backpack, symbolizing his desire to appear relatable. Although raised in luxury, Barron embraces thriftiness in public, reflecting a low-key lifestyle influenced by his father’s values. This approach has helped shape a positive image for both Barron and the Trump family.
Little is known about Barron’s academic or social life, but rumors about a possible girlfriend have circulated. Sources close to the family emphasize that dating is not his priority. Instead, Barron is focused on his studies and business interests and has spent time with family during the summer.
Though the fall semester has begun, Barron has been notably absent from NYU’s main Manhattan campus. This has sparked speculation, but campus security confirms he is enrolled at another NYU campus, though the location is undisclosed for security reasons.
NYU has multiple campuses worldwide, including London, Paris, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, and U.S. locations such as Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Brooklyn. It remains unclear which campus Barron is attending, drawing interest and curiosity.
As Barron continues his college journey, questions remain about his future—whether he will join the Trump business empire, enter politics, or carve his own path. For now, he seems focused on education, discretion, and building his own legacy.
