UNC Kenan Flagler Undergraduate for Real Estate

Hey everyone, I want to pursue Real Estate in the future and I was wondering how good Kenan Flagler is (undergrad) for real estate. I'm not sure if the school is better to work for a brokerage or a Real Estate IB group. The end goal is to start up my own brokerage / real estate tycoon (ambitious, I know). I'm still waiting on other colleges but as of right now Indiana University Kelley is also an option. Thanks for the insight.

Can echo what was mentioned above. Strictly in terms of IB recruiting, we have a very strong presence at GS, BAML, MS, DB with a couple kids placing into Gugg/UBS/Barclays/CS/Citi each year. Wells is probably the most popular place to be with some other MM presence (HW/WB/Truist). About 2-3 kids total at EBs. I was once considering IU as well but ending up here because your future is not tied into getting into a single club (IBW at IU) and has stronger presence in the NY scene in banking.

Former UNC guy in RE here. Stumbled into RE IB as an intern and then dove head first into the RE department. UNC has a top notch RE branch at the undergrad and MBA level. You learn / get exposed to a ton. It even has a student driven REPE fund comprised of both undergrad and MBA students. 
 

Once you graduate, the network is still there and willing to help. I stay in touch with some of the department members still and definitely used them when I was leaving IB
 

I take it you’re an out of state kid - as was I. Assuming you get into KF, it is worth every penny. Good luck man. Getting in out of state and the B School is tough but very doable and sets you up nicely. 
 

Slight edit: my only regret is that I wish I stumbled upon RE as a career sooner and took classes there first thing than after my internship. You’re ahead of most there.
