Nick Kroll’s wife, Lily Kwong, is a graduate of New York City’s Columbia University, holding a bachelor’s degree in urban studies from the prestigious school, according to People. Back when she was still a student at Columbia, Kwong was profiled in a piece for Into the Gloss, and she was modeling at the time as well. She explained her academic career to the outlet, saying, “I study urbanism at Columbia — I’m a sociology and urban studies undergrad student. I went back to school because I was working with Joseph [Altuzarra] and dropped out when I was nineteen.” She added, “When I graduate, I’m pretty much going to work on my non-profit full time. But writing is really my first love.”
