Why Brown Statement: “Brown's academic program is not only incredible, but it also allows students to shape their own course and future. The swim team is composed of a group of amazing women and men, and is coached by two of the most friendly and compassionate people I've met: Coach Kate and Coach Sam. From the moment I stepped onto the Brown campus, I was met by a warm and welcoming vibe. I'm so excited to spend my next four years at Brown! Go Bruno!”
