Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I chose Macalester because of its size, rigorous education, and focus on internationalism. Furthermore, Mac stood out with its metropolitan location indicating that there are many opportunities for internships and jobs out of college in the area. More specifically, I chose to swim at Mac because I felt at home with the team and coaches.
