      <description>"I chose Plymouth State for a couple reasons.  I wanted to get a Criminal Justice degree while playing college baseball.  It turned out PSU had it all, not to mention the stunning surroundings.  I also work for Sports Information, which is an enjoyable and essential learning experience.  Not only did I work behind the scenes of the sports I grew up loving, I gained many important skills needed for a successful career."</description>

      <description>"The atmosphere at Plymouth is very welcoming and it doesn't take long to get to know people.  Everyone in and around the college is very friendly and there is always something going on.  Being able to play high level collegiate soccer at the same time is the icing on the cake."</description>

      <description>"I really enjoy being part of Plymouth State's athletic program. I love being part of a team that is like your family away from home. Being on the tennis team keeps me grounded, focused, and active. Plymouth State has a lot to offer to their students and opportunities to get involved in the university and always has something going on which is great."</description>

      <description>"I chose Plymouth State because it is a relatively small school that offers what I am interested in. Here, there is a brand new science building with so much to offer within its walls, and there is also a host of extracurricular activities to challenge you to go further. The tennis team has allowed me to challenge myself physically while I challenge myself mentally and academically within the walls of Plymouth."</description>

      <description>"I love PSU because it is a people friendly environment. I never have to worry about fitting in or feeling I need to act a certain way. The people here are always caring and are always willing to give a helpful hand. Overall PSU is a place I came to because I knew how much respect I would receive as a person and athlete."</description>

      <description>"I chose Plymouth State because of the friendly atmosphere, and the amazing education program here. I've always wanted to be a teacher, and the small class sizes really enable me to connect with my professors. One of the main reasons I chose Plymouth over other contenders was because of the women's ice hockey team here. Plymouth not only allows me to continue my hockey career at a highly competitive level, but also to keep me focused on my future, with all the help I need along the way."</description>

      <description>"I love PSU because I have been happy here since the first week of school. Almost every person I've met, the teachers, coaches, and students, have all been great. It has been really easy to meet and get along with people at PSU, and I never feel like I want to be anywhere else. I am a Freshman on the Women's Basketball team, and my teammates have already become some of my best friends. I am 100% happy that I chose Plymouth State, and my first year of college has been awesome."</description>

      <description>"Plymouth State was a good choice for me for a couple of reasons.  It has an exceptional Physical Education program and I was able to play baseball.  Being a member of Plymouth State athletics, I have met many new people who are always supportive and willing to help in any way possible.  Playing a collegiate sport has certainly taught me to balance and rearrange my time for baseball, studies, and other activities.  I am confident that the skills that I develop at Plymouth State will lead to a bright future and a successful career."</description>

      <description>"I love PSU for many different reasons but I can attribute most of my love for PSU to my field hockey team. We're a group of girls that have changed from a group of friends to a family; I can honestly say I have the best team and the best friends from the team. Playing field hockey keeps me focused on what is truly important and my coach and my teammates are the reason the last three years of my college experience has been nothing less than perfect."</description>

      <description>"Plymouth State Athletics are not just sports teams we are family. You build relationships with not only your teammates and coaches but other coaches and players as well. Everyone is here to help each other succeed in their goals. The experience and maturity you gain from playing a sport along with the education you receive will develop you into the type of person you want to become. That is why I chose Plymouth State."</description>
