WHAT THE STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE SAYING

"Choosing to go to CBA is one of the best choices I have made. I know for fact that I am well prepared for whatever college throws at me. I am also so grateful to all my coaches and teammates for a wonderful three years of playing baseball for CBA." - HUNTER DELGUERCIO, Gettysburg College Baseball

"The diversity of the curriculum was crucial to my success both in the classroom and on the track. The opportunity to explore the different course offerings not only allowed me to get a better idea of what I may want to study in college, but also I was able to acquire skills that could help me on the track." - KAMERON COLEMAN, Cornell University Track & Field

"CBA has prepared me academically and athletically by teaching me respect and helping me mature. I came into CBA unsure of what I wanted and I am leaving a completely different and more responsible person. My teachers in the classroom and coaches on the court have taught me core values that I will use for the rest of my life." - WILL BRADLEY, Drew University Basketball

"CBA prepared me academically and athletically by always challenging me to better myself. CBA has allowed me to continuously grow through my successes and failures both on and off the pitch. I thank CBA for giving me the opportunity to be able to play rugby at the Division I level and by giving me the tools to succeed in college." - TJ MEEHAN, Clemson University Rugby

"CBA has prepared me both academically and athletically, but most importantly, it has taught me invaluable life lessons. So many teachers have helped shape me into the person I am today and I am ready for the next four years of my life." - BRENNAN O'KEEFE, Catholic University Baseball
