• Chose the University of Minnesota because "as soon as I met the rowing team and coaches on my visit, they all treated me like I was already a part of the team. This sense of community and the team dynamic was exactly what I was looking for in a school. Minnesota's unparalleled opportunities and resources available for me to thrive academically and athletically also made the decision an incredibly easy one. I am excited to pursue my interests in psychology and I knew that U of M was going to be the best place for me to do so."
