Why Brown? “I chose to attend Brown because I knew that it was where I was meant to end up. Everyone talks about the feeling that people get when they step on a campus and just get the feeling that they were supposed to be there. That is how Brown was for me. Brown's coaches were passionate about winning an Ivy League title, which was something that I wanted too, and they allowed their players the freedom to express themselves and guide their own lives in the direction that they wanted to. Not only this, but they placed great emphasis on education as well as basketball, and so did each of the players. The environment at Brown is one of acceptance and community, something I really admired and could not say no to.”
