Why I Chose AU: Anderson University is ranked extremely high in the state for Cybersecurity/Computer Science programs. The school was recommended as a great school from learning from friends and family members. The small class sizes encourage a more interactive classroom. As the youngest of five siblings, I have recognized an importance of building a support system/community while away at school. Staying active is the best way that I know to do this. I have been a competition swimmer since seventh grade and Anderson University is giving me the ability to continue. I am looking forward to growing and competing with my new teammates.
