Why I Chose Santa Clara: I chose Santa Clara over other universities primarily because of the community. When I visited the crew team, I experienced a sense of the common tenacious mentality among the team members that was exactly what I was looking for. It was clear that crew was a top priority for everyone there and that working as hard as one can was simply the expectation. On another note, the school is beautiful and is located in one of my favorite places, the Bay Area. This, combined with the academic opportunities Santa Clara offers are all reasons why I chose this University.
