Barron Trump opted to live at this place while attending NYU
Barron Trump, the son of Donald Trump, is attending NYU but chose to live at Trump Tower instead of dorms.
Barron Trump, the youngest son of former US President Donald Trump, has opted for a different college experience than many of his peers at New York University (NYU). While a typical student at NYU’s Stern School of Business might reside in the university's dormitories, Barron has chosen to live at his family's residence, Trump Tower, instead of moving into a dorm room.
As the son of a billionaire and former U.S. president, it’s no surprise that Barron’s decision to skip dorm life isn't due to financial constraints. The 18-year-old had the option to live on campus like most freshmen, but his choice to stay at home reflects a personal preference.
Melania Trump told Fox News, “It was his decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.”

Melania, who has largely kept her son’s life away from “public eyes”, also spoke about her pride in Barron’s development over the years. “I’m very proud of what he grew up to [be]. His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It’s admirable,” she shared.
“I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19-year-old child.”
