“What drove me to choose UConn was the fact that both student teachers [I learned from in high school] happened to be in the same concentration I wanted to be in, which was music, and they were able to provide me with advice and thoughts on the program.”

“I chose UConn initially because of a campus tour that I had during my senior year of high school. During this tour I had a presenter who really convinced me that I wanted to study Sport Management here at UConn through his passion for the topic and the attention to detail he demonstrated through his presentation.”

“I chose UConn because it provided so many opportunities for me to choose from. I came to UConn not knowing what I wanted to be or what my future looked like. When speaking with ACES advisors, I realized that I could create that future on my own.”
