Barron Trump is off to college this fall, along with his Secret Service agent

Barron Trump,the youngest of Donald Trump’s children, is embarking on one of the first big adventures of adulthood this fall: moving away to college.

The 18-year-old,having just graduated from Florida’s prestigious Oxbridge Academy, will study in New York, his father revealed this week.The exact university remains unknown but NYU, Columbia and Cornell are all possible contenders. 

Barron will now join a long line of young adults to attend school with the weight of their parents’ presidential legacies on their shoulders — and Secret Service agents watching their every move.

Paul Eckloff, a former Secret Service agent who protected George W Bush, Barack Obama and Trump, along with their families, explained the tricky nature of covering teens to The Independent.

He said the goal of Secret Service agents is “to impair the college experience as little as possible while providing the strongest security environment that you can.”

Eckloff is no stranger to the ins and outs of presidential children, having worked with the Bush twins, Sasha and Malia Obama, all of the Trump children and many of the Trump grandchildren. Every child and grandchild of a current president receives Secret Service protection, Eckloff explained.

While the children of former presidents aren’t guaranteed a detail after they turn 16, Barron currently receives protection, the Secret Service confirmed in a statement to The Independent.

Eckloff tellsThe Independent that Barron will be going to college when social media poses a greater threat than ever – both to his safety and his privacy.
