Why Ursinus? Tennis wise, Ursinus has awesome courts. There is a stringing machine right on campus. Two of the eight tennis courts have lights for night time hitting. Coach Smith is super friendly and keeps in touch with his players very often. Everyone affiliated with the team is super welcoming, which is relieving when first starting out in college in general.
