On Friday,
the Michelle and Malia Obama were spotted touring universities in New
York. Will Malia go to Columbia University, like her dad?
Last summer, news outlets took notice when Malia Obama toured Stanford and the University of California-Berkeley.
Now, heads are turning once again after Malia and her mom, Michelle
Obama, were spotted on private tours with multiple universities in New York City on Friday.
With such
well-known people touring campus, it was no surprise that many students
shared their excitement on social media. From tweets to blog posts, many
shared their enthusiasm with the prospect of having Malia as a
classmate.

Courtney Craig, a 21-year-old music and anthropology major at Barnard College,
said that the First Lady “dined with other adults I did not recognize,
and her daughter, Malia, sat at a separate table nearby with a group of
her friends. There were about 10 Secret Service agents sitting inside
the restaurant, and about seven big black SUVs outside.” She also said
that when the first lady stood up to leave, “everyone stood up and
clapped for her,” reported The Grio.
