Why Nicki Chose Stanford
"Stanford offers a unique mix of high caliber academics and impressive athletics within a diverse and collaborative community. I am interested in bioengineering, so I was thrilled to learn that over half of the team pursues STEM-related majors. The coaches are innovative and encourage their rowers to excel both on and off of the water. Most importantly, the women on the team are driven, talented, and extremely supportive of each other."
