The first time Riley Burruss appeared on the scene, she was a little girl, occasionally making cameos with her mother Kandi Burruss on the reality TV show Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now at 18, Burruss is a first-year college student, living her best life in New York City.

On the Jan. 10 episode of RHOA, Riley prepared to leave and start her freshman year at New York University. The scene was emotional for the Burruss-Tucker family, especially for her mother and her little brother, Ace, who cried when his big sister was about to go (via The Daily Dish). “My favorite thing is when she plays with me,” the toddler said about his sister, during his first RHOA interview. Riley has been at NYU since the fall of 2020, where she dealt with quarantine right away. The university required students from “restricted states” to self-isolate for 14 days. One of the states on the restricted list? Georgia. Riley shared in an Instagram Story from Aug. 19 that things weren’t so exciting yet: “I’m currently in quarantine at NYU. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do in quarantine? … I’m so bored, and it’s only day one” (per The Daily Dish).
