Riley Burruss is growing up, and has some big plans for her career. The Real Housewives of Atlanta daughter is now a cast member on Next Gen NYC, and is ready for her next chapter in Manhattan after graduating from college last year.
Riley, who graduated from NYU in 2024, spoke to The Daily Dish earlier this month, where she revealed that she’s “studying for the LSAT right now,” in anticipation of attending law school. “I want to get that and then my business degree,” she shared in the exclusive chat. “So I’m trying to study for both. It’s a lot.”
She continued, explaining how she wants to stay in Manhattan and study at Columbia University for her “dual degree.” “I want to be an entertainment lawyer, so,” she said. “When I manifest things, they happen, you know.”
What does Riley Burruss do for a living?
Riley Burruss says law school is the “main priority” for her future
“I think for me, my main priority is studying for the LSAT, of course, and getting a great score, and getting into Columbia,” she told The Daily Dish. “And my second goal is just to continue working on myself. You know, I’m only 22, so I feel like there’s a lot of self-work that would be very needed at this age of your life. And I just want to make sure I’m doing the best I can with myself.”
Where did Riley Burruss go to college?
“Always being around my mom and her music is what inspired me to pursue a degree in music, so having the opportunity to actually study music business has been an amazing journey!” she wrote in the caption of the post. “I have truly fallen in love with my studies these past four years. As a first generation college student, I am so proud of myself for reaching the finish line and staying on track to finish this degree.”

Working in the music industry isn’t the only thing that Kandi has inspired Riley to do. During a recent live taping of Bravo, Bravo, F’ing Bravo with Kate Chastain, Riley revealed that her mom, an RHOA alum, gave her some major advice before she joined the cast of Next Gen NYC.Â
“She told me just be true to myself,” Riley said during the live stream. “Like, ‘Don’t be fake for the cameras; just be honest, be true, and you’re gonna be good.'”
