Why Ursinus? I chose Ursinus because of the great academics and reputation. Being close to Philly gives great opportunity to find a job after graduation. When talking with the team and coaches they all really made it feel like home to me, and the Centennial Conference has a lot of great competition. All around this school was the right fit for me.
