Former President Barack Obama’s youngest daughter, Sasha, is set to begin her college career at the University of Michigan next week.
Sasha, whose legal name is Natasha Obama, was seen by students attending summer freshman orientation and again this week accompanied by men believed to be Secret Service agents.
Some students are annoyed by the extra security but then there are others that say it cool to have her attend there school and Sasha seems like “a normal student to me.”
According to Detroit News, Sasha Obama is enrolled for classes that start Tuesday, which puts her on a path different from her family members: attending a public Big Ten university instead of seeking an Ivy League education.
Barack Obama — the nation’s 44th president from 2009-17 and the first black man elected to the office — attended Columbia University in New York City for his undergraduate studies.
Michelle Obama — the former first lady and mother of Sasha and Malia — earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University in New Jersey.
Her sister, Malia Obama, took a gap year in 2016 before enrolling at Harvard University, where her parents attended law school. Malia Obama begins her third year at Harvard this fall.
Speculation about the youngest Obama becoming a Wolverine began after an Instagram social media account attributed to her posted a photo of Sasha and two friends on the Ann Arbor campus. She tagged UM and wrote: “So proud to say I’m going to college with my sisters!!”
Best wishes to a great school year, Sasha!
