WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD?
Before choosing Linfield, I was contacted by two other universities about playing volleyball, and it was tough to decide between the three. But after visiting Linfield’s campus, I fell in love with its small, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful buildings. What ultimately convinced me was the volleyball team! After practicing with them, I saw how competitive and supportive they were, and knew it was the right fit. I chose Linfield because I believed it would challenge me physically on the court and academically in the classroom, helping me grow as a person!
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
Sports helped me build character by learning discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. I've become more confident in myself and my abilities as well as strengthening my social skills! Playing sports has kept me physically and mentally sharp! I am forever grateful for all my coaches and teammates that have also played an important part in my life!
