Harvard students, professors, and supporters protested President Donald Trump’s policies regarding the university and its international students.

  • Barron Trump, son of President Donald Trump, recently completed his freshman year at NYU’s Stern School of Business.
  • He is the only Trump child to attend NYU, breaking family tradition of attending University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown.
  • Rumors of Barron Trump’s rejection from Harvard were dispelled by the former first lady’s office, stating he did not apply.

President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, broke family tradition when he chose New York University as his college destination.

Barron Trump is the only child of the president and first lady Melania Trump, and he just completed his freshman year at NYU’s Stern School of Business. Trump’s other kids either went to Georgetown or the University of Pennsylvania, where the president himself graduated from.

“Barron did not apply to Harvard, and any assertion that he, or that anyone on his behalf, applied is completely false,” Nick Clemens, spokesperson for the Office of the First Lady, said in an emailed statement on May 27.

Harvard University did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the president’s youngest son attended a Florida rally, and then-candidate Donald Trump confirmed Barron Trump’s plan to go to college.

“He’s now going to college, got into every college he wanted to,” Donald Trump said at the July 9, 2024, rally in Doral, Florida. “He made his choice and he is a very good guy.”

Where does Barron Trump go to college?

Barron Trump recently finished his freshman year at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He’s projected to graduate in the class of 2028.

Where did President Donald Trump’s other kids go to school?

Barron Trump broke tradition when he chose NYU, the first of Trump’s five children to go there. Here is where the other Trump kids graduated from:

  • Donald Trump Jr.: University of Pennsylvania in 2000
  • Ivanka Trump: University of Pennsylvania in 2004
  • Eric Trump: Georgetown University in 2006
  • Tiffany Trump: University of Pennsylvania in 2016, and Georgetown Law School in 2020

Trump v. Harvard battle, explained.

Trump has threatened to withhold funding from several universities in the U.S. if they do not follow federal directives, all under the banner of fighting antisemitism. He has alleged the institutions did not do enough to combat antisemitism during the protests against the war in Gaza, which brought allegations of both antisemitism and Islamaphobia.

Harvard rejected the administration’s orders, which included ending all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, hiring an external auditor to ensure the university hosts diverse ideological viewpoints, and update admissions processes to bar students “hostile to the American values and institutions inscribed in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence.”

Defying the orders has put billions of dollars worth of federal funding and Harvard’s tax-exempt status at risk.

Where did President Donald Trump go to college?

President Donald Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in May 1968 with a degree in economics.

But he didn’t spend all four years at Wharton. Trump started off his college days at Fordham University in the Bronx in 1964, but transferred to Wharton two years later.
