WHY DELAWARE?
"Delaware is a great place to be a student-athlete. Between UD's renowned academic reputation in health sciences, the beautiful campus, the school spirit within the athletic department, and the social atmosphere, Delaware was an easy choice for me. If I had to do the college search process over, I would pick Delaware again and again every time. There is no other place I would want to call home for four years."
