AceShowbiz - Former U.S. President Barack Obama's youngest daughter Sasha is reportedly heading to college at the University of Michigan.
According to The Detroit News, the teenager, real name Natasha, was spotted attending summer freshman orientation, and again this week (beg August 26) accompanied by men believed to be Secret Service agents.
"I was walking by pushing a vacuum and she walked out right in front of me," said Zach Lassen, a third-year film student at the institution. "I said, 'Excuse me.' It was a crowded hallway with her and some Secret Service dudes."
Another attendee who spotted Sasha at the university's orientation session said she seemed like "a normal student to me."
According to the publication, Sasha is enrolled in classes which begin on Tuesday, putting her on a different path to her family members, who all attended Ivy League institutions.
Speculation that the 18-year-old would attend college in Michigan arose when an Instagram account attributed to her tagged the university in a post and wrote: "So proud to say I'm going to college with my sisters!!"
The institution also created a group on their public MCommunity database named Natasha Obama. However, the page was swiftly disabled.
A spokesperson for the University of Michigan refused to give details about Sasha's reported enrolment, while a representative for her mother, former First Lady Michelle Obama, declined to comment.
