Student Stories

As a real estate student, I got the chance to not only take the most valuable courses for my present career, but I also worked as the President of the Real Estate Society (RES) and participated in a national case competition.

Without any hesitation whatsoever, I can say that I would not be where I am today, both personally and professionally, without the Rutgers Center for Real Estate.

The knowledge I gained from that course helped me secure an offer for my current Summer Internship.

These courses, I have to say, have opened my mind and I have obtained an incredible amount of information and knowledge.

Since joining the Center for Real Estate, I have grown an excellent relationship with the International Council for Shopping Centers (ICSC), and through them, I have received a scholarship funded by Rutgers alumni Glenn Rufrano, who is now the CEO of VEREIT, Inc. a full-service real estate operating company.

I am currently a full-time MBA student working part time in the planning and acquisitions department of The KRE Group, a New Jersey based real estate development firm.

I have been very involved with the Center for Real Estate since I started at Rutgers in 2015.

As a rising senior, I will be taking more Real Estate classes in order to get my concentration.

Coursework within the Real Estate concentration has been immensely rewarding, exposing me to a variety of career paths within the industry and preparing me with skills that have enabled me to engage employers, particularly my internship.
