If you are asking about President Obama, no he was not. He was born in the USA and never studied at any foreign universities. But if you are asking about his father (who had the same name as the president), he did come to America to study as an exchange student, and eventually, he returned to Africa.

∙ 11y agoNo, this is an internet myth. Barack Obama was a transfer student from Occidental College, but since he was a US-born citizen, he was never registered as a foreign exchange student anywhere. That said, some people are understandably confused because his father (who had the same name as the president) was in fact a foreign exchange student who came from Africa to study in America. But the president was born in the USA in 1961, and was always an American citizen.
