Why Ursinus? I chose Ursinus because it fit all of my requirements. It fit my academic level, my tennis level, and it was a great location. Additionally, I had a great connection with the tennis coach, Pete Smith, from the first time I played a UC middle states event four years ago. Lastly, after I did my overnight with a couple upperclassmen on the team and got to know the campus a little more, I was sold.
