I have a one-track mind when it comes to college. I have already verbally committed to play volleyball at Yale University. During the recruiting process, there were really no other schools that excited me as much as this one. After they offered me, I ultimately trusted my gut and accepted. Now 2021 can’t come soon enough! I believe these will be some of the best years of my life.
Yale and I are the perfect fit for one another. It is a very unique university. One of the many things I love about it is instead of traditional dorms, every “first year” student is assigned to a residential college. These are similar to the houses in Harry Potter. Students are very loyal to their residential colleges and each has its own common room, dining room, recreational room, and yard. Also, the gothic architecture is beautiful. Athletes are assigned to rooms with non-athletes and I think this is important as well. Making connections outside of the sports team will help me assimilate. I am also a very social person and consider myself adept at getting along with all kinds of people.
The Yale volleyball program is also perfect for me because although I am a serious athlete I am also a serious student. At Yale, there is an optimal balance between the two. Ivy League regular season games are on the weekends so students avoid missing class as much as possible. In addition, the practice/workout schedule is a lot more manageable than it would be at a school in the Big 10 or Pac 12.
