I decide continuing to play volleyball at Western Oregon University would be one of my best choice because the coaches are extremely nice and the players are like family, which is perfect for me. Another aspect is the fact that my brother played football at WOU. I would love to continue my family's athletics at Western Oregon! The environment surrounding the campus is perfect for me. It's in the countryside, but not far from the city. The security of the campus also makes me want to go there. Since they just invested in their new health and wellness center, you can see they are making improvements to their campus. Finally, I think I would like to study in the medical field and that's what they have now. Western Oregon sounds perfect to me! I really enjoyed discovering this wonderful university and I hope it is one of my options for university..
