Why did you choose NJIT as your university? 
I chose NJIT because it was the only university I felt at home at. Immediately upon walking on campus there was a welcome atmosphere that no other school could match.

When you were choosing between college swimming programs, what was unique about the NJIT Men's Swimming & Diving program? 
The coach communicated well and communicated often. Even now as my sibling is looking for a college to swim for, the coaches don't meet Coach Lawson's level of openness and responsiveness.

Why did you choose to be part of the NJIT Men's Swimming & Diving program? 
Because joining a team guarantees friends for life and the swimming team welcomed me with open arms and a friendly attitude.
