Why Brown Statement: “There is no match to the academic opportunities a school like Brown can provide of course, but aside from that, both Sam and Kate were some of the most down to earth people I had ever talked to and their enthusiasm for college swimming was contagious, I couldn't help get excited listening to them. The team was also so incredibly welcoming and by just spending time on campus and with them I saw such a good fit for where I should spend the next couple of years.”
