How did you hear about Butler and what interested you in the University?
I first heard about Butler through the NCAA Basketball tournament. They were always a team I rooted for! Since then, I have been interested in Butler because of the size of the university, strong academics, and their top NCAA soccer program. It felt like the perfect fit for me.

 What do you hope to get involved in at Butler?
First, I am excited to join the men’s soccer program. I also look forward to exploring the different clubs on campus and getting involved in Jewish life.

What is your favorite part about Butler so far?
I haven’t visited the University yet, but I’ve had positive conversations with every staff member I’ve interacted with.

What are you looking forward to most when it comes to being a student at Butler?
I’m excited for my classes at Butler and to attend the basketball games.

What advice would you give to other students who are thinking about transferring?
I think college is too short to settle for somewhere you don’t think is a good fit for you, so it’s always worth exploring other options if you feel it’s best.
