WHY I CHOSE UC:
“I chose UC due to its reputation in the criminal justice field and its emphasis on experiential learning and internships. In addition to its academics, the lacrosse team gave this large university a small school feel. I knew the women's lacrosse team would be my family away from home where I would be encouraged and supported throughout my collegiate career.”
