Bradshaw on Princeton
"For starters, when September 1st hit and I got few texts from Ivy League schools (including Princeton of course), all other schools were out of the question for me. Academics will forever be my top priority, so when the top schools in the nation showed interest, I knew I would attend an Ivy. It was when I stepped on Princeton's campus that I knew it was the place for me. What sold it for me was the small things like how organized my visit was (flights, itinerary, even driving services), how happy the team seemed together, and most importantly how amazing the coaching staff was. I just knew it was a place I would be comfortable, happy, and overwhelmingly prepared to step into the real world after my four years was up."

Coole on Princeton
"During the recruitment process, one of the questions I felt myself asking most frequently was, 'How will I know a college is the right fit?' and always people's responses were 'You'll just know.' For the longest time I disregarded this cliché answer, thinking it can't be that simple. But after walking on Princeton's campus and meeting the coaching staff and team, Princeton just felt like home. I love the environment of academic and athletic excellence that is created at Princeton. When asked about finding the perfect college, I am now one of those people that responds with 'you'll just know.'

The culture that exists between the coaches and players, paired with their academic focus and the global opportunities Princeton presents me, was something I could not pass up."
