Why Saint Joseph's? The campus is just beautiful. As soon as I stepped on campus I was welcomed by amazing people, it already felt like home. I felt so safe and knowing I got asked to further my soccer career made it better. And the amazing exercise science program. I love that I can further my play and get a degree.
