Q: What about Cleveland State University most intrigues you?
A: The beautiful campus and a great atmosphere are what intrigues me.
Q: What led you to choose Cleveland State University?
A: While going on my visits no other school felt more like home then CSU did. The great coaches, welcoming players, and great athletic facilities are all things that led me to pick CSU on top of the amazing academic opportunity I would have with all the support they offer.
Q: What is your major going to be and how is Cleveland State University’s program for that major?
A: My major is Criminology, CSU has a great criminology program working alongside city police and the FBI headquarters which is in Cleveland. All this will give me great knowledge and prepare me for when I begin my career in law enforcement.

Q: What about West Virginia University most intrigues you?
A: The most intriguing part about the university to me is the atmosphere that is created there for athletes, and all of the opportunities they have.
Q: What led you to choose West Virginia University?
A: I chose WVU because the team there was extremely welcoming while I was on my official visit. It felt like a place where I could see myself for the next 4 years. They also offered me a scholarship which helped meet some of my personal goals.
Q: What is your major going to be and how is WVU’s program for that major?
A: I plan to major in chemical engineering, the engineering program at WVU is one of the best in the countries and one of the best fields the college has to offer.

Q: What about Shippensburg University most intrigues you?
A: For me, the best part of Ship is their campus. It has a very modern feel to it, and overall it’s a very well maintained place.
Q: What led you to choose Shippensburg University?
A: For me, it came down to the baseball program. Unlike most schools, they keep a small baseball roster, which would give me more playing time. One college I was talking to said they kept 50+ athletes on their roster, verses the 25 athletes Shippensburg has on the team.
Q: What is your major going to be and how is Shippenburg’s program for that major?
A: I will be studying business. If I’m not mistaken, Ship has the same business accreditation as many if the larger schools in the country, so that’s pretty nice.
