Venezia on NYU
  • Chose NYU because “transferring to NYU has given me the best opportunity to reach my academic and athletic goals. Just from visiting the school I noticed the culture of the team was close and supportive, with a coaching staff that wants you to win and compete at a high level. NYU has tons of resources available to have academic success and to set me up for after graduation.”
