Why Blackburn College: I chose Blackburn because I liked how the campus really revolves around helping students and is a place I could call home for the next two years. Everyone who showed me around campus was helpful and and showed me what this place had instore for me. The volleyball program was another reason I chose Blackburn because the atmosphere was very family oriented.
