WHY PENN STATE
“I chose Penn State because they have a great soccer program along with great academics. I love the program’s morals and the coaching style as well. Not only does Penn State have an amazing soccer program, but all their sports team do well, and it seems like such a cool experience to be surrounded by so many talented athletes at school. I know Penn State is going to push me out of my comfort zone every day on the field and in the classroom, and I cannot wait for it.”
