Washington - The eldest daughter of the US president, Barack Obama, Malia, will be at Harvard University in 2017, but rather will be away from studies for one year after completion of high school, the White House said on Sunday.

"Malia will take a year break before starting college," said a statement from the White House, ending a months of silence about looking for a college to Malia. His two parents attended Harvard Law School.

Malia, 17, will focus on completing the final exams of high school before thinking about how you will take your gap year, he told Reuters an official who was informed of the decision of Malia.

She showed interest in film and television, and worked in the middle as an intern for two summers.

Last year she worked in Brooklyn, New York, on the set of the HBO series "Girls".

In 2014 she worked on the set of the science fiction series "Extant" of CBS, starring Halle Berry. The show already closed was produced by Steven Spielberg, one of the major donors of the presidential campaigns of Obama.

The Harvard undergraduate education division reported on its website admissions that encourages students accepted to postpone enrollment for a year to travel, carry out a project or work. About 80-110 students do every year, he said.
