Barron Trump has been avoiding the spotlight at New York University. The 18-year-old has been keeping to himself throughout his first year of college, with some of his classmates revealing that he tends to keep to the back of the class. 

One of the ways in which he's connecting with others is through video games, and reaching out to classmates to play online.

Classmates of Barron share that he is constantly surrounded by Secret Service agents, making his social life dissimilar to the rest of the students. They reveal that Barron sits in the back of his economics classes and tends to keep to himself. 

A student spoke to TMZ and revealed that Barron's campus presence is minimal. "He hardly exists," said the source.

Still, while they may know little about Barron, they describe him as "chill" and someone who has an easygoing attitude. 

One way in which Barron is socializing is through video games. The outlet reports that Barron has asked various NYU students for their Discord usernames, hoping to play video games together online. This social media app is built around games and fandom, connecting people with others of similar interests. 

Barron's favorite game is said to be FC25, previously known as FIFA. He appears to be very involved in the gaming sphere, helping his Donald Trump reach young male voters by suggesting various interviews with popular gaming personalities like Adin Ross, who regularly streams videos of himself playing games like NBA 2K20 and Grand Theft Auto 5.

In Trump's interview with Ross, he revealed that his son was a big fan of his content.

Barron spends plenty of time with his Secret Service agents

Per a Secret Service source, agents are assigned to Barron around the clock, protecting him at all times. The source claims Barron is always with them, every day and all year long and that Barron spends little time on campus, with agents transporting him to and from class in an SUV.

While most college students are required to live on campus for their freshman year, Barron has been living at home, in Trump Tower, likely due to security concerns.
