WHY I CHOSE SANTA CLARA: I chose Santa Clara not only because it is a great school, with a great business program, but also because once I stepped on campus I felt as though it was home. The students and staff are amazing and staying close to home is also a perk, where I can see my family at any giving moment throughout the year. I am glad to be part of the Bronco family and I am excited to bring something special to the soccer team this fall.
