Why Ursinus? The great connections between alumni and the school and their noticable love for the school.  The campus is so beautiful and it offered many science opportunities which was something I really loved.  On a campus visit I took while I was in high school, so many students were so nice to me which was something I wasn’t used to and it made me feel welcome and at home.  I wish I wasn’t a senior because I would love another four years.
