Why DU: "I chose the University of Denver for the opportunity to be close to the mountains, as well as the ability to ski for a mid-sized school that offered so many academic benefits. The campus and people were amazing when I visited, and the quarter system will enable me to explore a wider variety of classes than a traditional semester schedule would. I am excited to live in Colorado, a place that is different enough from home, but still close enough to my family."
