The 18-year-old, who was spotted by fellow students at the summer freshman orientation, has reportedly been seen on campus again this week accompanied by men believed to be Secret Service agents.

Although the university is yet to confirm her presence on campus, more sightings have been reported as the fall semester draws near and students begin moving into the dorms.

If the rumors are confirmed, Sasha will be the only member of her family to attend a public Big Ten university instead of an Ivy League institution.

Sasha's sister Malia is studying at Harvard University. Their father Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, and their mother Michelle Obama graduated from Princeton University before going to Harvard for her law degree.
