Why Wisconsin?
"I wanted to go to a school with great culture where students are proud of where they are. Throughout history this university has shown pride with the traditions it has developed and continued through time. This isn't just a place that will help me grow athletically, but also a place where I can grow academically and personally to shape what I want for my future."
