For this week’s story of #HowWeMetAtRU, we have @the.wayfaress & @ronbir28 ✨

"We joined Rutgers in 2016. I (Riya) joined the urban planning department at @blousteinschool, and Ranvir joined the Masters of Business and Science. Even though we were in different majors, we lived right opposite each other on Lewis St in New Brunswick. We quickly became friends for our shared love for New York, movies, music and food. Whatever we earned in our part-time jobs, we’d spend it all visiting NYC every other week. We explored every inch of New Brunswick, the Rutgers campus, going for movies in Livingston, eating at Busch, strolling through Cook Douglass, late-night partying in George st, grocery shopping at Key Foods, barbequing in the backyard, running in the snow in Buccleuch park, or early morning part-time jobs as light rails surveyors for NJ Transit. And the next thing we knew, we were in love. 

After graduating in 2018, I moved to San Jose, and Ranvir moved to New Orleans. We stayed in touch and made it our mission to be together in one city again. After more than three years of a long-distance relationship, Ranvir moved to Seattle in 2021, I followed, and we married in 2022. Now we live in Seattle without our little beagle, Veeru. 

If we never met at Rutgers, we probably would’ve never met even though we are both from the same city (Kolkata) in India. If we never met at Rutgers, our lives would have taken us through different paths, and we would’ve never known love like we know now. We would’ve never had Veeru."
