PERSONAL:
On Choosing Rutgers: “I chose Rutgers because of its welcoming environment and the good balance between academics and athletics. I was looking for a school with a strong physics program that was also close to a big city and Rutgers provides both. Most importantly, the team feels like a family, which makes the swimming and diving program really special.”
