Why Ursinus? I chose to attend Ursinus because from the moment I stepped on campus, I immediately felt at home and loved the overall campus feel. Because Ursinus is a relatively small school, I recognized the close interactions you can have and close relationships that you can build with your professors. Ursinus gives me the chance to stay relatively close to home and allows me to receive an excellent pre-medical education while playing collegiate baseball for a competitive program.
