Why Ursinus? I chose Ursinus because I fell in love with the lacrosse team. The girls are amazing, and the coaches are just as great. Next, I looked to the academic side of the school and the Biology program is fantastic. Ursinus gave me the best of both worlds and it feels like home; I could not be any happier with my decision.
