he didn't go to harvard. He attended Columbia University and he used the same name ... as he has ... for his entire life.
He has used the name Barry.
The above information is incorrect. Obama did go to Harvard. He also attended Columbia University 1981 - 1983 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialty in International Relations. He attended Harvard Law School 1988 - 1991, where he served as editor of the Harvard Law Review, and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree (more prestigious than a Bachelor of Laws) magna cum laude in 1991. Occidental College, which he attended 1979 - 1981 confirmed he registered as Barack Obama. Columbia University confirmed he was registered as Barack Obama and has made available an article he published in the 3/10/1983 edition of Sundial, Columbia's weekly news magazine, using the name Barack Obama. Harvard has confirmed that he was registered as Barack Obama and served as the editor of the Harvard Law Review using his name, Barack Obama. He may have used the nickname Barry socially, but officially he has been Barack Obama.
He used his real name-- Barack Obama. For a while, he had been called "Barry" but he decided gradually to go back to using his full name. Note that there are internet myths that claim he used the last name of his step-father, but that is false.
He went by his actual name-- Barack Obama; but as an undergrad, he was still being called "Barry" by some of his friends. Online claims that he was called Barry Soetoro are untrue; and there is no credible evidence that he was ever known at Columbia or at Harvard by any name other than his birth name, Barack Obama. (And no, he was not admitted to college as a "foreign student" either-- he was born in Hawaii, which was, and remains, part of the United States.)
