Barron Trump's Secret Service agents disguise themselves to keep track of him on NYU campus
WASHINGTON, DC: Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, is attending NYU's Stern School of Business, but his college experience is far from typical.
Barron, who is surrounded by Secret Service agents who blend in with casual attire, is escorted everywhere by them, even to class and the bathroom, UNILAD reported.
His transportation to campus involves a convoy of blacked-out SUVs, with NYPD assistance ensuring traffic delays are avoided.
Barron Trump's unusual freshman year experience
This high-security presence has drawn attention from fellow students as Barron Trump navigates his college life with an unusual schedule and limited freedom.
Barron has an unconventional college experience at NYU. Every day, he is escorted to campus in a Secret Service convoy, traveling directly from Trump Tower, located about 50 blocks away, to an unmarked garage where he enters the university, according to the outlet.
With the help of his security team, who coordinate with the NYPD to manage traffic, Barron bypasses usual delays as they navigate him through bus lanes.
After classes, Barron exits from a hidden door and takes the same route back home. This constant security presence has drawn the attention of curious students, who frequently see him surrounded by bodyguards.
Interestingly, Barron's Secret Service team, usually known for wearing all-black suits and sunglasses, adopts a more casual, student-friendly look to blend in on campus.
Despite his efforts to keep a low profile, Barron doesn't get much privacy as sources told the outlet that his security even accompanies him to the bathroom, and he is never seen eating in the cafeteria.
Kaya Walker, the former president of the NYU Republicans charter, described Barron as an "oddity on campus" in an interivew with VanityFair, noting that he mostly just attends class and heads home.
Some of Barron Trump's peers haven't seen him on campus
Sources told DailyMail about an incident, where Barron Trump was denied entry to a bar in New York’s trendy NoHo neighborhood because he couldn’t prove he was of legal drinking age.
Another student, speaking to Vanity Fair, recalled asking Barron to play basketball, but while he seemed interested, the student felt that Barron wasn’t really allowed to participate in activities.
Instead, Barron, a passionate soccer fan and player who supports the English football club Arsenal, prefers to spend his time playing online video games with friends, particularly FIFA.
After class, Barron doesn’t socialize with peers. Instead, he’s quickly whisked away into the security bubble created by his Secret Service team, as per the news outlet.
Some students at NYU's Stern School of Business claim they haven’t even seen him around campus.
In January, it was reported that despite just finishing high school, Barron had launched his own luxury property company, 'Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital', with two young friends.
The firm, focused on high-end projects like golf courses and luxury properties, was short-lived and dissolved after just four months.
Barron’s business partner Cameron Roxburgh explained that they decided to wind up the company to avoid media attention after Trump’s re-election.
It appears Barron might be shifting his focus back to his studies, putting aside any entrepreneurial ventures for now.
His mother Melania shared in a previous interview, "He loves his classes and professors. He's doing well, he's thriving and he's enjoying to be in New York City again." However, she acknowledged, "I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student."
