Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald and Melania Trump, has been quietly attending New York University’s Stern School of Business for the past six months.

While his life has largely remained private, glimpses into his day-to-day routine have sparked curiosity—especially the black backpack he’s often seen carrying.

Though it may seem like a typical college accessory, some suggest it symbolizes the new chapter in Barron’s life: independence, routine, and an attempt at blending in despite his high-profile background.

Now 18, Barron re-emerged into the spotlight during Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory celebration, after years of keeping a low profile. On campus, he’s constantly accompanied by Secret Service agents—some dressed down to avoid drawing attention—but it’s impossible for him to go unnoticed.

Students at NYU have had mixed reactions. Some say he’s popular among his classmates, even calling him “chill” and “surprisingly normal.” Others feel conflicted, citing the contrast between his privilege and their own financial struggles.

To better connect with fellow students, Barron has turned to gaming. According to reports, he invites peers to join him on Discord, where he plays *EA Sports FC 25*, using virtual spaces to socialize without the pressure of his public identity.

Although he’s shuttled to and from campus under tight security, Barron’s choice to attend a regular college—rather than retreating into isolation—suggests a desire for normalcy.

And maybe that black backpack? It’s more than just school gear—it’s a quiet symbol of him trying to live like any other student.
