Donald Trump revealed that his 18-year-old son—who he shares with wife Melania Trump—has chosen to enroll in college at New York University's Stern School of Business, where he will begin classes this fall.
"He was accepted to a lot of colleges," Donald told Daily Mail in an interview published Sept. 4. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU."
Noting that the school is a "very high quality place," the former president—who is also dad to Donald Trump Jr., 46, Ivanka Trump, 42, and Eric Trump, 40, with his late ex-wife Ivana Trump, as well as daughter Tiffany Trump, 30, with second ex-wife Marla Maples—went on to recall that Barron "liked the school" when he visited.
"I've known NYU for a long time," Donald continued, "but it's one of the highest rated."
And while the politician thinks Barron made a great choice, he admitted that his own alma mater, University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, was a close runner-up.
"I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering," Donald shared. "We didn't do that. We went for Stern."
But regardless of where Barron takes his classes, Donald emphasized that he's especially excited to watch his son take this major leap after graduating from Oxbridge Academy high school in May.
"He's a very high aptitude child, but he's no longer a child," the Celebrity Apprentice host said. "He's just passed into something beyond child-dom. He's doing great."
And attending business school isn't the only way Barron is following in Donald's footsteps. Back in 2012, Melania also spoke out about how her son was similar to his father.
"He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy," Melania told Parenting.com at the time. "He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. Sometimes, I call him little Donald."
She added, "He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him little Donald."
