Some time ago, I decided with my family to study at an American university. The reasons for this were different: knowing a different culture which attracts me; having an international experience; and being part of a well-known and recognized university that allows me to study and play my favorite sport at a high level. AMong all the alternatives I had, I am convinced Dordt University is the best and most exciting option to give the right answer to all my expectations and allow me to develop myself as an athlete as well as a student. Additionally, the way I have been treated by everyone involved in the university has been incredible," said Calvo Navarro.
