Why Yale? “When I visited Yale I was overwhelmed by the warmth and inclusivity that the field hockey team showed toward me. As I went on the campus tour, I felt this sense of community was not only subject to the team, but also a wider reflection of the environment created at Yale. The exceptional academics at Yale provides an incredible opportunity to study with inspiring professors and like-minded, ambitious students. This excites me and I cannot wait to spend the next four years at Yale.”
