Why Vanderbilt? “I wanted to go to a school with great academics and a great tennis team, and I really feel like Vanderbilt is the best of both worlds. The coaches were also instrumental in my decision and I really like their energy and coaching style. Furthermore, Nashville is an awesome city and the Vanderbilt University campus is super pretty.”
