WHY CAROLINA?

After visiting other campuses, nothing compared to UNC. As soon as I visited I knew that was where I would choose. The team gets along so well and they were so nice and fun when I met them. The coaches are so nice and were exactly what I was looking for in a team. The atmosphere on campus is great and everyone has so much school spirit.
