Barron Trump's College Choice Is Finally Clear (& It's Sure To Excite Melania)

It was just a few months ago that Donald Trump seemed a bit clueless about Barron Trump's future, including his college plans. Now he's finally confirmed that the New York school Barron will be attending this Fall is none other than NYU. "He was accepted to a lot of colleges," shared the former president with the Daily Mail. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at N.Y.U." He continued, "It's a very high quality place. He liked it. He liked the school. We liked NYU. I've known NYU for a long time, but it's one of the highest rated ... " Speaking of his own college days at Wharton School, located in Pennsylvania, Donald added, "I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn't do that."

So far, Barron's mother, Melania Trump has yet to publicly congratulate her only child on getting accepted into NYU, but she's probably ecstatic over his decision — and it's not just because he's finally spreading his wings. Instead, her elation probably has a ton to do with the location of the historic school, and what that could mean for her future living situation regardless of whether Donald wins the 2024 election or not. Not only is New York University obviously located in its namesake, New York City, but it's also close to Trump Tower where Melania has lived at least part-time for the majority of her marriage to the billionaire mogul. Actually, close is a serious understatement.

If Melania Trump is really packing up her life at Mar-a-Lago and returning to New York to support Barron Trump in college as numerous reports suggest, then he couldn't have picked a better school. According to Google Maps, NYU is only about 30 minutes away from Trump Tower, one of the lush, luxury residences that Melania and her family have lived in over the years. And that's using a normal person's means of transport. Melania will have a Secret Service detail, and possibly even a police escort, expediting her trips to visit Barron.

While Melania has probably been busy helping Barron decorate his dorm room — or let's be real, his off-campus condo somewhere deep in an affluent neighborhood — she already has a great setup of her own to rest in. The former first lady spent part of her summer at Trump Tower, presumably to hide away from the glare of her husband's back-to-back legal trials, per the NY Post. However, photographers caught her basking in the city's unique ambiance in June 2024. Interestingly, the outlet also mentioned her being spotted with a luggage, which could suggest that she's indeed planning on spending a considerable amount of time there. Or, she could be planning on jet setting back and forth. Either way, it probably beats White House living.
