Why CMU: “I chose CMU because of its passion and dedication when it comes to field hockey. During my decision-making process, CMU stood out to me because everyone I spoke with seemed highly motivated and driven. I also really liked the way the field hockey players spoke about their team and the positive atmosphere they described. The community seemed welcoming, supportive, and fun, which I really loved.”
