WHY DID YOU CHOOSE PENN STATE?
"Everyone who has gone through the college process has heard the saying that the second you step on your future college's campus, you will know right away that you are in the right place. That's how it was for me at Penn State. I knew from the start that my school needed to have a balance of athletics, education and over-the-top school spirit. Penn State's phenomenal women's soccer team, challenging academic aspects, and almost excessive school pride almost seemed too good to be true. Before I visited, I knew PSU had everything I wanted, and there was one thing left for me to see: the people. I immediately felt right at home with my future teammates and coaches and had no doubt that I absolutely NEEDED to go to this school. I had never been anywhere that felt so much like home or met people who felt so much like family. I'm beyond excited to see what my fellow classmates and I can accomplish in the next few years at Penn State!"
