In this week\u2019s spotlight: Montana State University and Daan van Dijk! The tennis talent from Bergen, who is already in 122nd place in the Dutch rankings, plays the highest level of Dutch competition, has always been with the top players of his age and became part of the Montana State Bobcats last week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great new step in the tennis and school career of this hard worker. He chose Montana State University in 2020, after he visited the campus and met with his coach and team mates. Below Daan explains why he chose MSU:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI chose Montana State University because coach Trey and I have the same vision for the team\u2019s future and my personal development. Another advantage is the beautiful environment in Bozeman and the opportunity to play in a team full of great guys!\u201d

The Campus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

MSU is the largest university in the state of Montana, spread over 470 acres. In comparison: that’s almost 1000 soccer fields together! Every year, nearly 17,000 students come to play sports, study and, above all, have fun on those thousand footballs on campus. The campus was founded in 1893 as a school specifically focused on agriculture. The number of students at the time? 8! Bizarre isn’t it?! The campus looks super nice, see the location of MSU below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, approximately 4,200 students stay on campus in the student buildings, of which about 70% are freshmen. There is a total of 12 student clubs active that help students with all kinds of different things, but also organize fun events. This makes the campus a place for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MSU campus has a number of great sports facilities, the Bobcats must be well looked after of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
