WHY PENN STATE
"I chose Penn State because from the moment I first stepped on campus, it felt like home. There was no hesitation for me. I immediately fell in love with the program, the coaches, the campus and the community. I knew Penn State would push me both mentally and physically, which is exactly what I need to achieve my academic and athletic goals. I really love the school pride and the family-oriented team culture at Penn State. Not to mention, the Creamery is a huge bonus!"
