Sasha Obama graduated high school in Washington, DC, in June, and now she's reportedly left the nation's capital for Michigan. Sources tell the Detroit News the 18-year-old former First Daughter has been spotted on the University of Michigan campus, attending the summer freshman orientation.
She was seen on campus again this week, this time with people who appeared to be Secret Service agents in tow; new resident move-in is happening this week. Sources tell the newspaper Obama is enrolled in classes that start Tuesday, but neither the university nor an Obama spokesperson would officially confirm her enrollment.
The paper notes that she'll be the first in her immediate family to attend a public Big Ten university rather than an Ivy League one; Barack Obama attended Columbia and Harvard, Michelle Obama attended Princeton and Harvard, and sister Malia Obama starts her third year at Harvard this fall.
Speculation that Sasha Obama would be attending UM started after an Instagram account said to belong to her posted a photo showing Obama and two of her friends on campus with the caption, "So proud to say Im going to college with my sisters!!" ClickOnDetroit notes that locals have been sharing their stories of spotting Obama, or a related motorcade, around Ann Arbor.

The good old days of 2008-2016. Happy Days.

(6,699 posts)I just hope they can be left alone. I'm sure the fat rotten orange will have some smart ass comment to make in the near future....and vannity will shit his pants when he learn of it; but seriously, this is America's family, and these two young ladies need to be left alone and respected. I'm doing all I can to refrain from making ANY comments about the son of this asshole in the White House...but God help me if he says anything about either of these two young ladies. The gloves come off!
