What are the best Commercial Real Estate Analyst Programs/Internships out there?
Which companies have the best formal analyst training programs? I'm looking to enter the industry as soon as I graduate from college, and I'd like to have a formal training structure as opposed to being just thrown out there.

I've heard that Eastdil has a strong program, but I'm curious to hear what other programs you all recommend?
