The CRC Choice

Matthew Crabtree '23

"When I first decided on CRC, my plan was to just play golf, get a degree, and leave. That changed almost immediately.

I fell in love with the school and the people that went to school here. I wanted to go to every event and I just loved being around everyone.

I finally felt at home."
