Why Ursinus? Ursinus was the place that just seemed like a fit. It was somewhere I could see myself being successful academically and athletically. Everyone on campus was so nice and it really seemed like a massive family. It looked like it would be very easy to make friends and everyone was willing to help with any problem that needed to be fixed.
