On attending Rensselaer: "The prospects of being able to attend a very great school academically while also continuing to be able to play soccer at a high level." - July 2021

"The quality of education, specifically within the math and science departments, as well as the ability to play soccer. Additionally, I was born on Long Island and always wanted to head back to New York and the East Coast for college, if possible." - August 2022
 
Benefits of undergraduate community: "Some of the benefits are being able to meet and interact with many people with various backgrounds and skills in regions that I am not familiar with and in turn learning more about the world around me." - July 2021

"You're in a very competitive but also helpful community which will challenge you to not only grow as a student, but as an overall person as well." - August 2022
