Why I Chose CMU:Â "I chose CMU because it was close enough to home where I could go home for holidays, but it was also far enough from home. The volleyball program at CMU was also a big deciding factor. The coaches are very competitive and really push their girls. The girls on the team were also very welcoming and you can tell they have such a great drive and love for the game. I was also very interested in nursing program at CMU because it is very prestigious and very hands on."
