Inquiring minds wanted to know — and now we do.

Where Barron Trump is attending college is no longer a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

The young man is a freshman at New York University.

Paps from The New York Post spotted the six-foot-seven 18 year old Wednesday on the sprawling East Village concrete campus, with Secret Service agents in tow.

The teen will reportedly again be provided a security detail, just as he was at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida. Fellow classmates reported the kid was a bit of a loner, thanks to the fact that he did not partake in any extracurricular activities, attend parties nor appear on social media.

In a big place like Manhattan, the younger Trump, who was born and partially raised there, may be able to blend in more, and actually have an authentic (ish) collegiate experience.

“It’s a very high quality place. He liked it,” the former president, 78, confirmed to The Daily Mail, adding his son will study business at Stern Undergraduate College. “He’s a very high aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond child-dom. He’s doing great.”

Someone else who seems pleased with the decision is Barron’s mother, Melania Trump.

Last week the former first lady posted a cryptic snap of the NYC skyline on the 28th anniversary of arriving there as a young model from Slovenia.

“This electrifying town isn’t just my home,” wrote the 54 year old who travels frequently from the Mar a Lago compound in Florida to their residence at Trump Tower in Midtown. “It’s a colorful canvas where dreams come alive.”
