Why UVA?
“I grew up a Virginia fan because both my parents are alums so I always knew it was where I wanted to go. This was reassured when I began taking visits and got to interact with the students. Everyone was extremely welcoming even when I was just a high school kid. UVA has a rare blend of top level academics, great people, and one of the best lacrosse programs in the nation, it is the perfect fit.”
