Why Megan Knight Chose Stanford
- “I chose Stanford because I wanted to go to a university where I could be both athletically and academically challenged, and this is something I struggled to find a good balance of when looking at UK universities. Women’s college rowing in the States is so much more competitive than any women’s rowing I have ever seen and Stanford also offers amazing opportunities to study STEM. With this combination, as well as a strong, supportive and determined team, Stanford was an easy choice to make.”
