Barron Trump's College Decision: Here's What We Know So Far

Barron Trump made his debut appearance at one of his father’s campaign rallies in Florida, where his father confirmed that college is his next step.

“He’s now going to college, got into every college he wanted to,” Donald Trump announced during the rally. “He made his choice and he is a very good guy.” However, Trump did not disclose which college Barron will be attending this fall.

Background

Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President and the 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Melania Trump, recently graduated from Oxbridge Academy on May 17, 2024, in West Palm Beach. There has been significant speculation about where he will attend college, with possibilities including his father’s alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and New York University (NYU).

Potential Colleges

University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)

Family Connection: Donald Trump graduated from UPenn’s Wharton School of Finance and Commerce in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Three of his children—Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Tiffany Trump—also graduated from UPenn. Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump both graduated from Wharton, while Tiffany Trump earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
Dates: UPenn’s freshman move-in dates for fall 2024 are from August 19 to August 25, with the first day of classes on August 27.

Georgetown University

Family Connection: Eric Trump graduated from Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in finance and management. Ivanka Trump also attended Georgetown for her first two years before transferring to UPenn.
Dates: Georgetown’s move-in dates for first-year students are August 22 and August 23.

New York University (NYU)

Speculation: Given Barron’s New York roots, NYU’s Manhattan campus has been a subject of speculation. NYU is not far from where Barron grew up, making it a plausible option.
Dates: NYU’s freshman move-in period is from August 24 to August 31, with classes beginning on September 3.

Conclusion

While Donald Trump confirmed that Barron has been accepted to multiple colleges and has made his choice, the specific institution remains undisclosed. Given the strong family ties to UPenn and Georgetown, and the speculation around NYU, any of these universities could be where Barron Trump begins his college journey this fall.
