I chose Lynn for the exceptional soccer program and location. When I'm not in class, I enjoy the beach, getting food with friends or watching soccer. After graduation, I would like to continue playing soccer professionally or become a physical therapist.

I chose Lynn because its close to home and the classes are small. Outside of class, I like hanging out with friends, going to see any new marvel movie, or just playing video games. After getting my bachelor's in biology, I plan on to continue my education by applying to vet schools.

I chose Lynn because I thought the block schedule would fit my learning style best. After graduation, I plan to go continue my studies to become a physician's assistant. One of my favorite things to do off campus is find new restaurants!
