Barron Trump Has Moved Into the White House and Started His Sophomore Year at New York University’s Washington DC Campus
Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has officially moved into the White House while beginning his sophomore year at New York University’s Washington DC campus. At 19 years old, Barron is stepping into a new chapter of both his academic and personal life, sparking renewed public attention as he balances college and living at one of the most famous addresses in the world.
For weeks, there was speculation about his whereabouts after he appeared to be missing from NYU’s Manhattan campus at the start of the semester. That mystery has now been put to rest with confirmation that he enrolled at NYU’s Washington DC campus, a smaller and more exclusive branch of the university. It is home to the Stern Executive MBA degree program, which offers students the opportunity to complete an MBA in just two years. With only 60 to 100 students typically enrolled, it provides a more tailored environment compared to the university’s massive New York presence.
The program is not only academically rigorous but also expensive, with traditional undergraduate costs running close to $32,811. Students in this program usually face additional housing expenses of around $7,000 to $9,500, but in Barron’s case, residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue makes that an unusual non-issue. Living in the White House brings its own unique experience, one that no other student at the program could claim.
For Barron, this move represents more than just a shift in address. After spending much of the past year in New York with his mother, Melania, the decision to study in Washington DC signals a more permanent family presence in the capital again. While Melania is expected to continue traveling between the two cities, reports suggest that Barron is the main reason she spent the last year in New York. Now, with his studies underway and his residence in Washington secured, the family will reunite more fully under one roof.
It has also been noted that former President Trump personally pointed to NYU’s strong business school as the reason behind Barron’s enrollment. Given the Trump family’s deep ties to real estate, business, and politics, the choice to pursue an MBA program in Washington DC feels like a natural step for Barron. The decision allows him to continue his education while remaining close to the political spotlight his family is never far from.
While much of Barron’s life has been kept private compared to his older siblings, his move into the White House for his sophomore year highlights the growing independence and direction of a young man carving out his own path. The attention around him is inevitable, but for now, his focus seems to be on balancing the demands of his academic future with the unusual reality of being both a college student and the son of one of the most high-profile figures in the country.
As Barron begins this new chapter, it will be watched with interest. His presence in Washington DC, his studies at NYU, and his role within a family still at the center of American political conversation make his journey one that is both personal and public. For him, sophomore year isn’t just about classes and exams; it’s about navigating a life that comes with expectations and scrutiny unlike any other student his age.
