Why Ellise chose Santa Clara:
“When I first visited Santa Clara I knew it was where I wanted to be. Not only does it offer a D1 NCAA water polo team, it offers a wide variety of educational opportunities. This appeals to me because I am still undecided regarding a major, but I feel confident that my SCU guidance counselor will help me make those decisions as my interests and abilities develop—which they are doing here. SCU has one of the most beautiful campus environments and the faculty, staff and students are extremely friendly and helpful. SCU is making me a better athlete, student and person, which will translate into a successful career and life. I highly recommend the school to future students.”
