The overall environment just felt right, the professors, students, and coaches were welcoming and easy to talk to, giving the entire school a welcoming atmosphere that felt just like home. Finding that tight-knit community, combined with the chance to compete in their strong lightweight rowing program, made Queen's the perfect fit. - Lincoln Pearson
