The 19-year-old reportedly did not show up for the first week of classes as he was expected to begin his sophomore year at NYU. He is, instead, "doing a semester elsewhere."
Barron Trump was scheduled to return to New York University's Greenwich Village campus on Tuesday, September 2, to begin his second year at Stern School of Business; however, the first son was a no-show.

According to multiple NYU security officers who spoke to PEOPLE, the youngest son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump has not returned to the university's main campus to resume his studies.
"From what I was told, he's doing a semester at another NYU campus," one officer told PEOPLE. The university declined to provide more details about his transfer, but it is known to maintain several satellite campuses within the country and abroad.
Barron relocated from Palm Beach, Florida, to Trump Tower in Manhattan last year so he could live within commuting distance to the Greenwich Village campus as he began his studies. From time to time, he would reportedly fly back to Palm Beach to be with his father at Mar-a-Lago.

Now, reports say he has moved into the White House while he attends classes at NYU's campus in Washington, D.C. This particular location is said to accept up to 120 students who are interested in politics, public policy, history, economics, and journalism.

President Trump had previously hinted at Barron's career aspirations in 2024. "He's a little on the tall side. I will tell you, he's a tall one, but he is a good-looking guy. And he's really been a great student. And he does like politics," Trump told "Kayal and Company" on Philadelphia's Talk Radio 1210 WPHT. "It's sort of funny."
