Why Brown? “Brown is one of the only schools which offers students the flexibility to roam and explore the endless possibilities the world and university has to offer. I am curious about many things and Brown's open-curriculum supplies me with the opportunity to explore my curiosities rather than being stuck to a cookie-cutter curriculum. Living over 3000 miles away from home may sound scary, but I have always wanted to experience something new and broaden my horizons. I am super excited to play under Coach Mercado and join the Brown water polo program!”
