Barron Trump graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla., in May.
Barron Trump, the youngest child of former President Donald J. Trump, has enrolled as a freshman at New York University in Manhattan, his father said in an interview that was published on Wednesday.
Mr. Trump had teased his son’s choice of college for months, but in the interview, which was conducted on video by The Daily Mail, he revealed that Barron Trump had chosen to attend N.Y.U.’s Stern School of Business.
“He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern Business School, which is a great school at N.Y.U.,” Mr. Trump said in the interview. “He’s a very high-aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond child-dom.”
The university declined to confirm the younger Mr. Trump’s enrollment, but The New York Post published photos on Wednesday of Barron Trump arriving on campus, flanked by Secret Service agents, a backpack over his shoulder.
N.Y.U. had an acceptance rate of 8 percent for the class of 2028, and charges nearly $63,000 a year in tuition. It is not known if Barron Trump, 18, plans to live on campus or in his childhood home at Trump Tower, in Midtown Manhattan.
The elder Mr. Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, as did three of his other four children.
