Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
“I chose Niagara because it seemed to be the place that was feeling most like home. Throughout my many visits, I learned to love the size of the campus as well as enjoying the people I met and the surrounding area. The soccer team and coaches were very inviting and will be a great group to spend the next four years of my life with. The business school was very impressive and visits to other schools only made it stand out even more. I look forward to the collegiate and professional opportunities I feel will be available to me upon graduation.”
