Quote:
"I chose Emory because it felt like home. When I met the volleyball team, I couldn't believe how genuinely close they all were, how the coaches looked out for them and instructed them with a true passion, and how by setting mindsets and working with a collective energy the team got the results they were looking for.  When I walked on campus for the first time, I felt an intellectual energy that was new and exciting to me, caused by all the driven and brilliant young people around me.  I met professors and sat in on classes, and I found everyone I came across was invested in what they were learning about and eager to learn more, whether it be a student or a teacher.  Of course, the campus is beautiful, and Atlanta struck me as bustling and full of opportunities.

"Athletically, I wanted to play volleyball at a high and healthy level while also getting a great education and setting myself up for a life of purpose.  I don't think there is a better choice out there for someone seeking this combination."
