Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
“I decided to stay because I love this school. I love the teachers, the students, and just the environment in general. I knew that if I decided to transfer I would not be treated with the same amount of care and attention I received here. Niagara is calm; Niagara is focused; Niagara is the only place, I think, that gives me enough freedom for me to be my own person, but enough guidance for me to know that there’s always someone routing for me. I have people here I can count on to push me towards success. Here I can prosper as a student and an individual. Niagara doesn’t make me better; Niagara makes me want to better myself.”
