Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
“I have been around NU my whole life, whether with my grandma when I was little going to mass, or coming with her to work, or at basketball, and hockey games. I even did a basketball camp here one summer! One of the main reasons I chose NU was because of the track team. I met with the coach, and the team and got to watch how they interacted with each other which was pretty cool. The main reason I chose this school, putting aside everything else was the education part of it. Most of my family has attended NU, and I got to see how they really became passionate with what they were learning and I knew that was because of the professors at the school. This reassured me that I would be getting the best education I could get at Niagara.”
