Barron Trump, the youngest son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has just commenced his studies at the Stern School of Business at New York University. The 18-year-old's choice of university has provoked mixed feelings among his new classmates.

According to information from the "Daily Mail," some students at the Stern School of Business, known for its liberal views, speak very positively about Barron and hope he will chart his own path rather than follow in his father's footsteps.

One student confessed she is "excited and intrigued" by the presence of the Secret Service on campus, while another expressed a desire to befriend Barron.

Despite these positive sentiments, there are also students who are critical of Barron due to his background and consider his presence a symbol of modern-day privilege.

The Stern School of Business itself, which Barron has joined, is considered one of the top American business schools, with a very robust undergraduate programme.

Senior Trump does not hide his pride in his son, emphasising his intelligence. Barron also considered other prestigious schools, including the Wharton School of Business, where his father studied.

At the same time, Barron, a football fan and former player in DC United's youth team, plans to continue his passion for football during his studies at NYU, which is located near Trump Tower in Manhattan—the place where he spent most of his childhood before his father's presidency.

According to the university community, the coming time will show how young Trump fits into the cultural and social landscape of NYU, a university that places great emphasis on diversity and progressivism.

Despite the divided opinions, Barron Trump's presence on campus is already attracting great interest from both the media and students.
