Getting to know Jonathan Drori ...

Why did you choose NJIT as your university?
I chose NJIT beacsue it offered me a lot of help with financial aid, and it was small and close to home. It also has a really reputable honors college, and a great biology program. I was also really excited to be part of the swim team here when I applied.
 
When you were choosing between college swimming programs, what was unique about the NJIT Men's Swimming & Diving program?
What makes NJIT Swimming & Diving unique is that is was a small team, which meant I had a lot of room to make a big difference. I'm now captain and I couldn't ask for a better coaching staff or better teammates.
 
Why did you choose to be part of the NJIT Men's Swimming & Diving program?
I chose NJIT Swimming & Diving beacsue after a season of plateaued times from my previous club, The Berkeley Aquatic Club, I wanted to continue my career in swimming. Coaches Mike, Dan, and Mark introduced a very different kind of training, and with their help I was able to drop significant time in almost all of my events for the first time since I was 15.
