Why Rutgers?
"I chose Rutgers because I have always dreamed of living by the city since I was a little girl. Rutgers has the perfect balance of suburban and city and there is so much to see and do! I love the culture of the gymnastics team and coaches and I felt like I fit right in and they welcomed me with open arms. I know the academics are competitive and will push me to succeed in a great career after college."
